Though I was brought up Catholic there were many things I did not understand. Where did the concept of the Kingdom of God being set up in ones heart come from?
The kingdom of God is the Holy Spirit given to you on baptism. This became the power of God to become all in all (Eph. 4:6) and the capacity for us all to become Gods or elohim which was the original doctrine of the Catholic Church. Look at the paper The Elect as Elohim (No. 1). The retention of this aspect with the obedience to the commandments and the concept of adult baptism meant that when the Church at Rome began infant baptism then the transforming grace of the Holy Spirit became minimised and the concept then was simply “the kingdom of God is in your heart” whereas it is in fact that the whole nature of the person is taken over by the Holy Spirit. Look at the papers The Holy Spirit (No. 117) and Consubstantial with the Father (No. 81). Do you agree or disagree? The Church of England (Anglican) was founded by King Henry in 1534, because the Pope could not grant him a divorce with the right to remarry? That the Roman Catholic Church was founded in the year 33? Thats Roman Catholic
