That's funny, I heard Him say, "my Church." Can you show me where He said "Roman Catholic Church"? While you're busy curing my confusion, perhaps you can tell me why it was James who issued the ruling on the Apostolic Decree, and not Peter? Then tell me how the Apostolic Decree prohibited drinking blood while allowing that "transubstantiation" thingy.
If you folks want to wallow in ignorance of your Jewish Messiah following one man go for it. I'd rather follow The Man, thank you.

Catholic Church. I’m not Roman. I’m Catholic. And Christ never said “Christian” either, so your question makes no sense. Originally Christians called what they shared The Way don’t forget.

Read Acts again. Peter ruled - James agreed. That’s why everyone held their silence when Peter spoke. The issue was done when he was finished speaking.
“Then tell me how the Apostolic Decree prohibited drinking blood while allowing that “transubstantiation” thingy.”
Simple. 1) The Eucharist is a Divine command, 2) it is a sacramental presence, not a bloody one.

We do follow the Man - the God-man. I am not ignorant of our Jewish roots. I bet I know more than you do. So far that is clearly the case.
Me, too.
