I think this question shows quite clearly your superior attitude to God and christianity. As if God needed the rcc to advance his kingdom!!!!!Where would your belief system be now if Catholic Christianity hadnt fought for centuries to preserve Christianity against the Muslim powers?
What do you think your belief system would be now, if it were not for centuries of defending Christianity, so that you could break away and develop your own (not even Protestant, presumably) ideology?
The answer to the first is the same as he is now. In many countries, the true church is being persecuted by Islam, but it doesn't need the rcc to survive. In fact it is doing rather well without it. Probably because it has not been tainted by the rcc.
And the rcc wasn't defending christianity. It was defending their power base, which was far from christian as in popes bumping off people they saw as a threat to their authority and power and popes having kids to women who they are not married to. If that is christianity, God help us all.
If the church hadn't been tainted by the roman apostate version, we would in all probability have dealt Islam a very servere blow as it would have been operating in the power of God not the power of man as they do in the rcc.
