text: Here is both what I think and what I understand;  Jesus was born a Jew, lived as a Jew and died as a Jew.  His apostles, disciples and all his followers were Jews and never left the Jewish faith.  Jesus would not even have known what the Catholic religion was.  The early Christian gathering was a Jewish sect led by James, the brother of Jesus.  The Catholic religion is a construct, commencing with the Jewish Christians expelled from the Jewish faith after the destruction of the Jewish temple 70 CE...about ten years later. This is a partial introduction to what is 'true' regarding the Catholic faith.  Jesus according to Scripture preached the end times were upon us, before the generation dies out the kingdom would come, before the disciples can visit all of Judea the end would come.  Hence, no need for a church, which He had no knowledge of anyway.
