The EU wanted to be like the United States of America.They didn't try to copy the US. They were doing everything he could to move to socialism.
No, did not exist in the early church. Nor were there any major. Bishops
Yes the seeds of Catholicism began early, but not Catholicism.
Except America became one nation first and through loss of blood and then they made a currency.
The EU thought the currency would bring them together through trade. No good. Every country here is very nationalistic. Also, seems to me the US is moving toward socialism too. Obama didn't make all those trips her for nothing...although we're not privy to the conversations --- I could just imagine.
There were bishops in the early church.
Look up:
The Bishops of:
Rome
Alessandria
Antioch
Contantinople
Jerusalem
The Pope as a title came into being in about the 5 or 600's.
Can't remember. It doesn't really matter to me except I do like to know history.
Some protestants deny the history of the church because they dislike catholicism so much....But it actually was the first church.
