Yes, the gospels are sweet, but the Catholic Church came before the gospels!
But not before the gospel.
Do you mean that Gospel where Christ founded His Church upon Saint Peter, promising that the gates of hell would not prevail against her? Or do you mean the 'gospel' of Luther, devised according to his own tastes? Since the 'gospel' of the protestants is based on rejection of the Catholic Church, it is absurd to say that it preceded her.
If you read a little history, you will learn that St. Peter presided over the Church of Rome, and shed his blood there in holy martyrdom. Thus, she enjoys the promise of indefectibility which I have mentioned above. Also, in your last post you implicitly admit that the Church in the time when the Four Gospels were written was indeed the Catholic Church. That places protestants in a nasty situation. So, you accept that you received the Four Gospels from the Catholic Church, but you reject her? If you say that protestants had to save the day because the Catholic Church, from where they received the Four Gospels (which they mutilated with their temerarious hands), defected, then their attempt to 'save the day' was based on an impossible premise, because the promise of Christ is that the Church would not defect. Indefectibility means, among other things, that it will never be necessary to set up your 'puppet-church' because the 'ship has sunk', due to the fact that the ship is indefectible and cannot sink.
This thread is not for apologetics, though. So, I think it should get back to it's original subject.
