Being capital-C-Catholic is just about drinking red wine, have a natural tan, being nominally sexually repressed but very sexual at the same time, and keeping contact with your parents.

        The only other contenders are orthodox or coptic and they are all the same age. Protestants all split from the Catholic Church. They're always younger.

        Fair point, but you can't really join a church of any of the other ones anymore, so the oldest one standing is Catholicism. In general I think it's a dumb own to say there's a bunch of different kind Christians, or religions in general, and how people act like finding the original would be best.
