Not to pick a fight, but “catholic” and “Roman Catholic” are not the same thing. The church at Rome did not exist in AD 33. Paul didn’t get to Rome until over 20 years later, Peter didn’t get to Rome until after Paul was beheaded (IIRC). I understand your position, but it’s probably better not to use that particular date.

I can see that the many rities of the Catholic Church of which the Latin Rite (what you might call RCC or Roman Catholic) are not in your pool of knowledge. These links will help. Please check them out so that this error is not made again.

BTW, when you use the moniker Roman Catholic or RCC it is an automatic note to us that the true knowledge of the Catholic Church is not known. Please do look at these links:

The Rites of the Catholic Church [Catholic Caucus]
One and Many Churches (origins of the Church)
THE RITES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH -- There are many!

Did all of you know that there are 22 Catholic Churches? LOL!
