Krishna. But no, as it is not an institution or organization, but a practice. And that's not what @chrysostom meant by what he said. Again, marriage far exceeds even Hinduism in age, but he was talking about something besides marriage and family.

There has to be an office, and at least two of them (such as the monarch and his subjects, two offices). That's what makes marriage and family—and the Church—an not only institution and tradition, but organization.

Peter was the first pope. Catholicism IS just simple Biblical Christianity.

We don't need Peter to be the first pope to establish Catholicism. We only need the office of Bishop, 1st Timothy 3:1, which has existed since the first century, before the Jewish temple was demolished and rabbinical Judaism was established. The Apostles were the original, founding guardians, custodians and stewards of the office of Bishop, and now we call their successors in that endeavor, the Bishops themselves.

That is hilarious!

The apostle Paul did not allow anyone of the twelve to have authority over him. That was because Christ directly gave Paul his authority!

Who are "The Apostles"?

Your "Church Bishops" have absolutely no authority over anyone in the body of Christ (i.e., the church which is His body).
