Also, at the time that RCC was created/started, there were also other churches, protestant. The Catholic Church did not start out as the only church and then all others broke away. That is RCC nonesense. That is what the RCC would have you believe. True most of the protestant church meetings and doings were under cover since they did not have the protection given the RCC.

The statement "In fact the Roman Catholic church is the original church." is totally incorrect and mis-leading. The book of Acts clearly outlines how the early church worshiped. What gospel they preached. What the early church believed. There is no comparision of the Catholic Church and the Early Church of the Bible.
Protestantisum is generaly accepted to have started during the reformation in the 1500's. Heres a diagram from Wiki



It's useful as a guide but as it goes on historical rather than religious text's many devout christians (of whatever denomination) will not accept it, relying on religous documents of their chosen denomination as a matter of faith.

Personaly I dont really agree with much of it either. I'd put the beginings of the Eastern Orthodox Church with the Council of Nicaea around 300 some time making it one of the earliset forms of christianity still practiced today. The RCC as we know it today can probably be dated from The Great Schisum around 1000, it was basicaly caused by a power struggle between the Patriarchs in constantinople and the bishop of Rome.
