What bishop of Roman Catholic Church wrote the City of God?
St. Augustine of Hippo wrote the book "The City of God." It is a mistake to claim that S.Augustine was a Roman Catholic, he was a member of the North African Church and it is very doubtful if he believed in the claims of the Bishop of Rome or either Infallibilty or Superior Jurisdiction!

Who are the four evangelists who wrote the Gospels?
It seems obvious, doesn't it? Matthew wrote Matthew, Mark wrote Mark, etc. Unfortunately, there is no factual basis for that conclusion. The fact is, the authorship of the four gospels is anonymous. We do not know who wrote them. It is church tradition, not history, which ascribed the authorship of the books. Irenaeus, a Bishop in the Roman Catholic Church, was the first to choose these four books (among dozens of candidates) as "canonical", or authentic, in the late 2nd century.
Wrote the 95 of these chalanged the Catholic church?

What Scriptures did the Catholic Church change in the Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.
Where did the Catholic religion derive from?
Catholic = Universal. The Catholic church was supposed to be the European "universal" church Constantine wanted to unite Europe so he melded the many belief systems of Europe together to create his universal, or Catholic church. Roman of course refers to the fact that the center of the church was established in Rome.Catholic AnswerWe do not know when the term Catholic Church was original spoken. However, it appears in writings of St. Ignatius of Antioch in the year 106 AD. The "Roman" part was added by protestants in England after the protestant revolt as a slur, it is seldom used by the Catholic Church.
Who was the first Roman bishop of the Christian Church?
Christian tradition holds that Peter was the first Roman bishop of the Christian Church. However, there is no evidence that Peter ever even visited Rome. Paul writes of meeting Peter in Jerusalem, presumably in the 50s of the first century, when Peter was still one of the pillars of the Jerusalem church. When Paul wrote of Peter, he would already have been rather old and unlikely to begin overseeing the Roman community. Moreover, scholars say that the role of 'bishop' was only instituted in the second century, by which time Peter would have been long dead. Apart from the tradition about Peter, we do not know who the first Roman bishop of the Christian Church was.

Why isn't the name Catholic Church used in the Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church wrote the New Testament, and decided which books would make up the canon of the Bible as we have it today. In other words, it preceded the Bible, and wrote it; authors do not normally include their names in their books - or answers for that matter. I do not write "PiusX says" although Wiki puts my name down at the bottom, you don't see me write it in the answer normally. In the same way, the Church does have "Church" in the Bible, but does not have "Catholic" in there. The word "Catholic" just means universal, and wasn't applied to the Church until the end of the first century.
How did zwingli respond to the sale of indulgences?

When did Roman Catholicism and Biblical Christianity start?
.Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church and Biblical Christianity are the same thing as the Catholic Church wrote and compiled the New Testament, although there was no New Testament, as we have it now, until the Council of Rome near the end of the fourth century. Christianity has always been the Catholic Church, and, as Our Blessed Lord promised, it remains the only Christianity Church and will be here until the end of the world.
