I seek Him every day.

I am sorry you are lost but sincerely pray you may find your way home to His Church where all Christians belong.

I would highly recommend you spend a good long time looking at His Church: Catholics Come Home

As I said I will pray for you that the fog of heresy be lifted from you and that His Holy Will be done in your life.

The first pontiff of the Catholic Church was Peter.

Constantine was never Pope.

Christians were worshiping on Sunday well before Constantine. In fact we know that from the New Testament and from other documents, that are not part of the canon of Sacred Scripture, that the very first generation of Christians worshiped on Sunday.

Jesus’ sacrifice created a New Covenant and authority to loose and bind (are you intellectual enough to even understand what that means?) was given to Peter and the Apostles to establish His Church, which they did, to include Sunday worship. You can protest all you want, but you are wrong and can’t refute that the first Christians DID worship on Sunday...it is irrefutable.

If you were familiar with History you would know that Pontiff and Pontifex Maximus was an office of the
high priest of Pagan religions back as far as Babylon, where "chief bridge builder" was the person who
negotiated with Satan over the souls of the dead.
The title later moved to Pergamus as the seat of Satan was given to the King of Pergamus. (see Rev 2:13).
The title was later seized by the Roman Emperors, thus the reference to Constantine in 325AD long after the life
of Peter. Thus Peter would never have been a Pontiff of anything except as a figment of someone's imagination.

There is no scriptural proof that Peter was ever in Rome. There is lot's of man's Tradition of such.

Peter was the Apostle to the Jews not the Gentiles; scripture says Peter went to Babylon where
there was a very large population of Jews outside of the Land.

All of the New Testament scriptures which are G-d breathed point out that followers of the Christ
followed His Holy Word and worshiped on Shabbat not on Sun Day, the Pagan day of worship.
They celebrated Shabbat as Yah'shua taught in the scriptures.

A clear reading of the Gospels show Jesus teaching
how to celebrate the Shabbat. What Jesus is doing
is rebuking the then Religious Leaders who have replaced
YHvH's commands with man-made Traditions for the
celebration of Shabbat.

They as followers of the Christ continued to celebrate the Feast Days as commanded by YHvH.

Binding and loosing comes with the giving of the Keys, which is future tense in Matthew 16
as Yah'shua still has possession of the Keys in Revelation 1:18.

The New Covenant was for the Jews only, as outlined in Jeremiah 31:31.

YHvH blinded the Jews as a temporary measure so the gentiles could be grafted into Abraham
as a wild branch of olive into the root of YHvH. (see Romans 11)

Jesus' Name in Hebrew is Yah'shua which means YHvH is my salvation
also see:

Exodus 15:2; Psalm 18:2; Psalm 27:1; Psalm 62:1; Psalm 62:2; Psalm 62:6;
Psalm 62:7; Psalm 118:14; Psalm 119:174; Isaiah 12:2; Isaiah 46:13;
Isaiah 49:6; Isaiah 51:5; Isaiah 56:1; Isaiah 19:20; Isaiah 43:3;
Isaiah 43:11; Isaiah 45:21; Isaiah 49:26; Isaiah 60:16; Hosea 13:4

Ekklesia is not a corporation located in Rome.

The word Ekklesia in the LXX is the whole camp of Israel.
