Ya Think?
Because the Church of Rome got a head start on all the others, they have made up the best and most elaborate whoppers. They set the stage for the manipulation of orthodoxy and demonstrated for all of the Christian religions how to make a pile of money. When protestantism was in its infancy during the times of Martin Luther and Henry VIII, catalysts such as money and political control were much more at the forefront than they are today. We can therefore say in fairness that human currencies, greed and other human shortcomings have been some of the greatest influences in the development of the different Christian sects within Christianity.

Gomes... the RC church is the genesis for much of what the protestant world believes today... they were of course the first persons to have the bible/scriptures translated (and complied - choosing which books stayed and which went) from its original languages to Latin... and there was a great deal of manipulation involved.
