Nice try again but all an educated person has to do is point out one flaw or contradiction and your whole premise falls apart. You mention Cyprian but what what your RCC sources fail to mention is that when Stephen, then bishop of Rome attempts to wrestle control in the 3rd century, Cyprian called a council of 87 north African bishops specifically to deny his bogus claims of authority.  RCC authors neglect to tell you that Cyprian believed all bishops were the successor of Peter together, representing one united "episcopal throne" (On the Unity of the Church 4-5). Instead, they quote his comments about Peter as though he meant the bishop of Rome. So to him, and to all the bishops of north Africa, there was no pope, not even 200 years after the apostles. 

Sorry to disappoint you TC but you have indeed been sold a bill of goods by clever Roman apologists, still trying to wrestle "mind control" of the masses-- albeit significantly harder for them to achieve in modern times... good luck!
