Again, you are conveniently ignoring Matt 16:19.
Also, the early history of the church is widely recognized among protestants as well, except American evangelicals.
Hardly. I just see it differently than the Catholic church does.
And the "early history of the church" is very different from Catholic doctrine that isn't scriptural...like Peter being the first Pope, or the Immaculate Conception and Ascension of Mary, or the Canonization of Saints. If you wanna believe that stuff that's your prerogative...but don't try and pass it off as 'church history'....because it ain't.
