Of course the Romans who may have 'perverted' Christianity weren't in the Western empire, but in the Eastern empire. There is a reason that Constantinople was in modern day Turkey (as was Nicea and Ephesus and Chalcedon - those 4 cities held the first 7 Ecumenical Councils of the Church). So really your beef should be with the Eastern Orthodox Church.
It appears that most of your complaints are simple anti-Catholic bigotry, and since you making a Lutheran, of all people, defend Catholicism you know you really fucked up.

Funny. I am a member of a Lutheran church myself.
And it was Luther himself and his 95 Theses that caused the Reformation. Wasnt that is response to how the Catholics were running the show?
