Featured Term (selected at random):

SEVEN CHURCHES OF ASIA

The churches in Asia Minor mentioned by St. John in the Book of Revelation. They are Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea (Revelation 1:11). While on the island of Patmos, St. John was ordered by the Lord to instruct and admonish their bishops, either praising or blaming them for the way they were administering their dioceses.

They were all Catholic Churches. Christ founded the Catholic Church on the Twelve Apostles — the first Bishops. He gave the keys of the kingdom to Peter, the first Pope.

It’s right there in your Bible! Do you not believe it? Or is your belief selective in this case?

“They were all Catholic Churches.”

Yes, but were they all under the authority of Rome?
