The origins of the RC Denomination?

Now do you want to actually address the thread?
(Again, I get why you are avoiding the article. The history of the rc denomination is ugly. The truth can be unbearable when it destroys the foundation of what one believes. For a member of the rc denomination, the true history (not the rc version) of the rc denomination is devastating and the defense/avoidance measures kick in. I was in your shoes, I know.)

Catholic meaning universal not RCC. So its not the same.

Yep.... that one! That's us --- go to Acts
Joh 18:36 [DRC] Jesus answered [the Roman, Pilate]: "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence."
The RCC is of this world; they have accepted the god of this world's offer of "all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them." Mat 4:8 [DRC] They wanted a "Great Bridge-Builder" just as the pagan Romans had.

Acts does not confirm that the RCC is part of the Universal Church. You are mistaken.

You have some reading to do.

Please point me to the Scriptures in Acts that will confirm what you believe about the RCC being a part of the Universal Catholic Church. I will read them.

I have read Acts from the beginning to the end. I do not see what you are talking about. Pleasee give me the Scriptures that show what you believe. Maybe I missed it. Correct me. I really would appreciate it.
Wrong it is you who needs to do some reading. We can read the fruit of your institution and it clearly reveals that your institution has nothing at all to do with the NT church.
You could read Acts a million times and you will never find the RCC in it no matter how hard you try.
You have failed like ususal to prove that claim.
ahhh yes;
these Sycamine Trees
Jude 1:10
But these (Symamine trees) speak evil of those things which they know not:
but what they know naturally, as brute beasts,
in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain,
and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward,
and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity,
when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear:
clouds they are without water, carried about of winds;
trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead,
plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea,
foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars,
to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
He also told them this parable:
“Can the blind lead the blind?
Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 The student is not above the teacher,
but everyone who is fully trained
will be like their teacher.
Cast aways; they are
Given over too a Reprobate mind;

But Jesus said that a city on a hill cannot be hidden. The only history of the Christian faith is that of the Catholic Church.
