Really? Do you have any document that says he started the Roman Catholic Church? The first time "Catholic Church" is used is in 590 A.D. when it was first established. There is no indication the word "Pope" was used with Peter. The name "Peter" means little rock. Jesus Chris is the "Big" Rock of Revelation. So, all Peter became was the leader or President of His Church and the Prophet of God. When Peter was killed, the next apostle became the President and Prophet of God. As apostles were killed off, they were replace until eventually the apostacy created the position where no apostles were called. Eventually, all apostles were removed from the earth and no new ones were called. Therefore, since apostles are prophets, no new President and Prophet could be called. This ended the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth in the Eastern world. There were still apostles and prophets in the America's as the full apostacy there did not begin until 421 A.D. At that time, the Church of Jesus Christ was gone from the world. The Great Apostacy began and did not end until the heavens were again opened in 1820 when The Holy Ghost opened the heavens to the Prophet Joseph Smith. That is where Jesus Christ told him that through him, the apostacy would end and His Church would be restored to the earth, just as Daniel had prophesied for our behalf to know. The RCC, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox and Protestant Church had polluted the Everlasting Gospel, changing the doctrines and ordinances to where none of their teachings and ordinances were true. Their hearts and minds were so closed and hardened that the Lord could not use them to restore His Church. Thus, an unlearned young man, not polluted with unrighteous dogma, would be the instrument of the Lord to restore the true and full Gospel of Jesus Christ since it was broken in 100 A.D.Yes. Jesus. That's who I'm going with. He started the RCC. He commissioned His right hand man, St. Peter, to be the first pope, and we've had an unbroken line since.
