Dates That Various Unbiblical Catholic Doctrines Were Announced

 
Here is a list of doctrines and corresponding dates when they were introduced into the Roman Catholic Church. These doctrines are found nowhere in the Bible.

 
As you examine this list, bear in mind that the ROMAN Catholic Church was starting to form around the time that ROMAN emperor Constantine issued his “Edict of Milan“, in an attempt to ease up on persecution of Christians. This edict of his – along with his successor’s “Edict of Thessalonica” – resulted in serious compromising of true Biblical Christianity, as many pagans in the Roman empire brought their pagan religious customs and practices into this new and more “inclusive” version of Christianity called Catholicism. The true “remnant” Church (true followers of Christ and the Bible) continued to follow the teachings of the Scripture, but outside of this heavily corrupted blend of Christianity and paganism. Many of these remnant Christians were known as “anabaptists“. As this list shows, there were no designated “popes” until 607 AD. Up until that time, there were merely bishops, including the bishop of Rome. But to “validate” their claim of being the “one true Church” the Roman Catholic Church claims that the apostle Peter was the first Catholic pope and then they assign “pope-hood” to each bishop of Rome that came after Peter, disregarding the fact that there was no such thing as a pope until 607 AD. Even the pope’s title of “Pontifex Maximus” comes from the Latin term “high priest” after the pagan high priests of the Roman empire.
