The apostles warned that the apostasy, a falling away from the truth, was coming. Rome claims to be their rightful heir, the one true Church of Christ. It names the apostles as the fathers of its doctrines and rests that claim on lineage: an unbroken line of bishops reaching back to Peter.
The Apostasy runs the paternity test. André Reis sets the Marian dogmas, the intercession of the saints, purgatory, the papacy, the Mass, images and relics, and tradition beside the faith the apostles delivered “once for all” (Jude 3). He reads the texts Rome cites in their original languages and traces each doctrine to the century it first appears. Doctrine after doctrine, the DNA does not match: the apostles are not the fathers.
