The Church failed?

[bhlincoln]

Jesus promised perpetuity of His Church in Scripture. Who gave Luther and Calvin and other reformers a commission to revoke so many holy and solemn promises which Our Lord made of His Church, by saying the church went apostate and failed? Note too that Luther and Calvin both agreed that in the early centuries after Christ, the Catholic Church had not yet lost the faith. So this raises the question, at what time, under what bishop, by what means, by what force, and by what steps did this false religion take possession of Rome and the Church itself? What protest, what troubles, and what lamentations did it cause? Was everyone asleep for 14 centuries while Rome was forming new doctrines and Sacraments? Is there not one single historian to publish or leave behind any commentaries on such a great matter? Yet no one questions when the Protestant Reformation and resulting churches began because every related incident is well known, and the troubles, woes and violence that were caused by them. So when exactly did the Catholic Church lose the faith?

I think the question should be, did the Church ever lost faith? Since as Catholics we believe that the Church has always been faithful, then that matter has long been resolved. So another question should then be asked: were Luther and Calvin right in their assumption? Clearly again, the answer is no.
