Re: [TruthTalk] Perry & Dave: inquiring minds want to know

What if I gave you a list of Successive heads of the Baptist church going all the way back to John the Baptist? DAVEH:   Can that be done?     You and I both agree regarding the RCC claim.   But, at least they lay some claim to a historical right to the priesthood authority.  Do you know of another religion that makes a similar claim?

We would need to have a history of that Church to go along with the names. As far as Peter how did he become a Pope? There is absolutely no history that the RCC can point to.

Actually, the Roman Catholic Church came into existence in 1054, when it split away from the churches of the East. About 500 years later it splintered into the various Protestant groups.
