Mark Brewer took 21 weeks to cover church history -- 1 week per century. But I thought he could have done it all in 4 minutes. We made a video to ...

The Church was established by Jesus Christ on the earth. He ordainded Apostles, Teachers, Elders and gave the authority of the priesthood to them.

It seems unthinkable that if the office of the Pope actually existed, that he and his office would be completely overlooked in a 3 century history.

The various early popes are mentioned in Eusebius, but they are not referred to as "Pope" but rather as the "Bishops of Rome". In the early church, there was still considerable debate over whether the Bishop of Rome was more important or had primacy over other bishops, especially those of the important sees of Alexandria and of Constantinople. Gradually, over the course of three centuries, the authority of the Bishop of Rome over the others came to be accepted by many Christians, although not all. It wasn't until Leo the Great in the 5th century that the Bishops of Rome actually made their authority official doctrine. A great part of the reason for the split between Eastern and Western churches lay in this very question.

The first pope to actually call himself pope and not just Bishop of Rome was not Peter or any of the earliest popes, but rather Siricius (AD 384-99). Given that Eusebius died more than forty years before Siricius took the papacy, it would have been more surprising if he had referred to a pope.

What was Bishop James Quinn role in the colony?
What contribution did he make to Catholic Church?
How did the work of Bishop James Quinn impact on Australian Catholics during this period of church history?

I've tried searching everywhere and I can't find any of this information.

Quinn was appointed Bishop of Queensland in 1859, and took up his post in 1861. He established a Catholic education system in Queensland, and founded the Queensland Immigration Society, which led to thousands of Irish Catholics sailing to Queensland.

starting with laodacia the first church, how do we know from history, when the succeding church periods started and ended

You are referring to the belief that the seven churches of Revelation 2-3 represent seven ages of church history.

The first church in the list is Ephesus, so for those who accept this idea that church represents the earliest period in church history. Laodicia is the seventh church, so would stand for the LAST period of time.

But note that though this view has become popular in the past two centuries, many do not agree with it. To begin with -- there is no specific statement in these chapters about these letters having to do with successive future ages. Nor is there any other place in the New Testament (or Old) that suggests the "church age" is to be divided up in such a way.

(The main argument made for these letters portraying the church age is that the following chapter begins with "after these things". We are told that what is described beginning in chapter 4 comes "after" --or at the end of-- the "church age". But "after" here need only mean that this was the next VISION John received, not that everything is in chronological order. And in fact the main event of Revelation 5 is the ascension of "the Lamb that was slain", which comes at the BEGINNING of the church age!)

In any case, you've put your finger on one of the most serious problems with the "ages of the church" interpretation of these letters. Interpreters have great trouble showing how the details of a particular letter relate to a specific period of church history, and end of stretching things to make any scheme work. (Most of them simply start with their personal conviction that we are now in the "Laodicean age", and try to work backward.) In fact, the strongest "historical" pointers in the seven letters are to various events in OLD Testament history up to the FIRST coming of Christ!!
