Well, I am not talking about Catholic history. I am talking about Christian history and like it or not after about 350CE Christian history became Catholic but before that it was Christian history. There were Christians over a hundred years before the supposed birth of Jesus. There were no Catholics.
If you are of a Christian faith then your root is Catholicism. That is the well spring of Protestant, Lutheran and other sects.
