There is clearly in the Pastoral Epistles, in Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, etc., the notion a Ecclesia docens, distinct of the rest of Christians, of apostolic origin and continous renovation. The problem is when you argue historically that there was no single leader in Rome in the 1st and 2nd century and THEREFOR there was a group of Presbyters and THEREFOR Rome was Prebyterial THEREFOR there were no Bishops and No Apostolic Succession
So much the greater was he agonized as Pope, witnessing the inhuman treatment accorded to South American Indians; the Sultan ruler who took perverted pleasure of having his victims tortured to death; and the barbaric persecutions inflicted on Christians by Communist revolutionaries in many different countries. It can induce the faithful to be vigilant and help them to fight efficaciously against everything tending to the destruction of the social order as well as of religion
Roman Catholic and Church of God Teachings
Christ never had an enemy like this; so able to pervert the way of truth into falsehood, insomuch that the true church, with her children, is trodden under foot. (over 140 years after Jesus was crucified) shows that early Christians must have understood from BOTH the Bible and the teachings of the apostles and other early leaders that Christians did not participate in the military
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Pope
The tone of authority which inspires the latter appears so clearly that Lightfoot did not hesitate to speak of it as "the first step towards papal domination" (Clement 1:70). The term ecclesia (ekklesia) here employed is the Greek rendering of the Hebrew qahal, the name which denoted the Hebrew nation viewed as God's Church (see THE CHURCH, I)

One Evil: The Roman Cult
Thus, Rome was, is and has always been the AntiChrist as the personification of everything opposite to the philosophy, principles and values of Christianity. It was Zotto de Landalf, otherwise known as Peter the Hermit and the "great" Pope Urban II who through an act of utter madness and military genius, secured the long term survival of the Roman Death Cult
Many of the good people in your Vatican Org will be coming out in to the light I hope before the Rapture !!!! There are 30000 Guillotines already at the EMA REX 84 camps in the USA only getting ready for Rev.20:4 when the SJ Pope says bow to the Image, take the Mark or Go to the line at the Guillotine. Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: You are not supposed to bow to any one other than God
Iconoclasm (7th and 8th Centuries) This heresy arose when a group of people known as iconoclasts (literally, "icon smashers") appeared, who claimed that it was sinful to make pictures and statues of Christ and the saints, despite the fact that in the Bible, God had commanded the making of religious statues (Ex. Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and Catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him" (CCC 2089)
Is the Roman Catholic Church the one true church founded by Jesus Christ?
Salvation is the free eternal mercy of God through Jesus Christ, and He stands ready and able to receive every sinner that will come to Him by repentance and faith. And it goes without saying that those in heaven, being free of the body and the distractions of this life, have even greater confidence and devotion to God than anyone on earth
