Thanks for the insight, I guess being raised catholic I had a skewed view on the history

Interesting I suppose I need to learn more but would I be incorrect saying Catholicism was the first Christ based religion?

Everyone is saying Catholicism is a subset of Christianity but if I’m not mistaken all other branches of Christianity are a reaction to Catholicism. As far as I know all modern branches of Christianity are subsets of Protestantism which came about because Martin Luther was big time pissed at the Catholic church.
