Also the jews didn't exist at that time, and the Scriptures belong to the Hebrews not to the mongrels konw as the kikes who don't even have a drop of hebraic blood.

Who actually says started?

Helped preserve? Sure


Its not even a meme, I've never heard this before.

>>1934916
Yes way.

Also did you know that the papacy was actually headquartered in Rome for most of the church's history; the only exceptions being when it moved to Avignon from 1309-1377 and another brief period in Los Angeles in 2002?

>>1934931

Aka BISHOPS of Rome Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Byzantium.
>metropolitan episcopal polity
From the bible.
>system of delegation from the Pope, to his Bishops, to the priests
Not from the Romans, was invented by the christians.

Wasn't it a Centurion who told Jesus about proper organizational structure in Matthew 8:5-13, and Jesus was all like "That's some dank shit right there, that's exactly what the Jews gotta start doing".

But in all seriousness you can't "found" Western Civilization when you've already been born in the midst of it and feel comfortable enough borrowing heavily from it.

Seeing that the point I wanted to make was made, I will politely abandon this thread before it spirals out of control.

>>1934958

Sure lad

I dare you to find an (roman) organization with such a hierarchy :

Layman > Deacon > Priest > Bishop

>>1934878
That's not even a meme.

>>1934989
That was actually the hierarchy of most Greek/Roman mystery cults.

>>1934878
The Roman Catholic Church was founded on December 13 1545

>>1934878
Yes, of course. That was dropped a long time ago.

We're trying to drop the meme that Catholics are Christians.

>>1934958
No, not about proper structure. The heavens were structured before the earth was made.

The centurion was demonstrating faith. Faith that if he told this guy to arrest John Doe, that John Doe would be arrested. He didn't have to follow up, didn't have to doubt, he was a man in authority and he knew that the people under him would carry out his wishes.

That's the faith Jesus marveled at, and did not find its like in all Israel.

When the assassins' order was founded and got together to murder all the Christians?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

>>1934878
So what do you suggest? Converting to Orthodoxy?

>>1934878
No one says they started it moron.

They say the Church preserved it after Rome fell and expanded Christianity into Western thought.

>>bishop
>Come from the bible
Where does the bible mention "Bishops"?

Nigga do you really believe this?

>borrowed heavily from Greek philosophy
>modeled their organizational structure after the Romans, then romanticized them for a millennium
>took scriptures from the Jews

Sounds like western civilization in a nutshell.
