ROMAN CATHOLICISM

When one reads his New Testament, he realizes that the early church was
simply organized with each congregation an independent unit with elders,
deacons, and other members. There was no clergy, no denominations, no
missionary societies, or monasteries.

Haahaahaa. The clergy are the elders.

No pomp, no circumstance, no ritual, just plain worship in spirit and
in truth (John 4:24) characterized New Testament Christians.

And especially include was the Holy Mass, the 7 sacraments and the Papacy.
