But simply denying it makes it true?
How do you know? When the catechism says so? Because of your confidence in the succession of Peter?
Answering a question with a question is not really honest dialogue, in my honest opinion. Please provide a direct answer to a direct question. You want us to believe your interpretation is correct over all others. Tell us how you know.
Sorry to offend.
Avoiding direct questions? That speaks volumes, in my opinion.

I matters not who started individual churches. The key is the Gospel, is it preached and lived by the church members?
You’re welcome. God bless you.
As I mentioned before, the moderator warned us to stay focused on the original post, so, if you wouldn’t mind doing that, that would be much appreciated: would you please, out of respect for those of us who would like to keep this thread from being stopped by the moderator, give me the name of the man, or men, that founded the Catholic Church, (if not Jesus Christ) - and when, just as we can with every protestant church? I know it doesn’t matter to you but it is the only point of this thread.
Sigh. I do believe many Catholics have amazing faith.
lol.
Again, I sincerely hope you’re not inferring that God hasn’t shown me the way to His Church? I am a convert. I’ve been in your shoes. I asked many questions to hear, ‘That’s not important’. Just more avoidance of direct questions. So I read, reflected, pray and was lead to His Church.
This has already been done:As I mentioned before, the moderator warned us to stay focused on the original post, so, if you wouldn’t mind doing that, that would be much appreciated: would you please, out of respect for those of us who would like to keep this thread from being stopped by the moderator, give me the name of the man, or men, that founded the Catholic Church, (if not Jesus Christ) - and when, just as we can with every protestant church?

Still no answers?
You worry too much about what I think about you. I don’t know you, I have no way of knowing. Since you seem to know me, what size are my shoes?
My care is how you think, and speak, of His Church here publically for all to see. You’re laughing out loud and playing games, with what appears to be no intention of answering the question. As I said, that speaks volumes here and is easy for people to see through. You can’t get anyone to follow your beliefs if you can’t tell them how you know when you’re correct or incorrect.
See post 788 and 798. I’ve answered your question and the OP’s question.
788 was my post. 798 is your answering questions with questions. I am the one who questions one who feels it necessary to bring up the schism and doesn’t belong to either. That has appearance of justification of hundreds or thousands of denominations, or it’s just a ‘tool’ to use against Catholics somehow.
That was the conclusion I came to as a former non-Catholic; thanks for answering the question.
That is true; both can trace their lineage all the way back.
I’m not sure what you mean when you say, “I see no reason to disprove something that was never successfully proven in the first place,” but I thank you for responding directly to the my original question.
788 is your post in which you copy my previous post which answers your question.
The year 1054, by the person of Pope Leo the IX.
Actually, the op asked for the name of the man, or men, that founded the Catholic Church. We discussed the founding and I provided scriptures with an explanation. You denied that interpretation, but seem to be unwillling to share how you know when your interpretation is correct, or incorrect. That speaks for itself. I will not detract from the topic of the thread any longer. I’ve given you more than enough opportunties to tell us and it’s evident you’re not going to answer.
