You requested information that I then provided. You've already been sufficiently answered (Post #16).
...just as everything you post is according to the opinions of your preferred recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic sect.
According to the unambiguous testimony of history, however, the Catholic Church is in fact that one historic Church founded by Jesus Christ himself in 33 A.D. If you dispute this, then go ahead and post your supposed proof for that claim.
Irrelevant, since his Church began in Jerusalem in 33 A.D., and would not be centralized in Rome until after Christ's Ascension. So your expectation here is both unrealistic and false.
Just another categorically false statement on your part. The biblical teaching on Christ's Church is clear. Try again.

It does not matter what a person's face looks like at a service, Robert. Some congregations whose worship is quiet and reserved, are jokingly referred to as "the frozen chosen". I'm sure you would agree that the Lord looks at the heart, and not at the facial expressions of His beloved children.
This is a very important question.
My experience---of leaving Evangelical Protestantism---was exactly the same kind of "backlash from family and friends."
Again, I had the very same experience in my conversion to the Catholic faith.
A stereotypical Protestant claim that you have so far in no way actually proven, but only assumed.
Yes, Jesus requires that the teachings of His Church's Magisterium---teachings that He Himself equates with His very own teachings in truth and authority(Lk. 10:16; 1 Tim. 3:15)---be affirmed and followed as divinely-revealed and binding upon believers. This is precisely how it has been from the beginning.
