Other than being 180 degrees off...you are right
The church did just fine for 1,600 years....then along came the revolutionaries....read and studied the EXACT same scriptures and books that had been there for that time....and decided to reinterpret them to suit their own perverted idea as to what the Bible should say.....and dumped a few books in the process...bad idea..
Almost exactly 100 years later, in 1517, Martin Luther nailed his famous 95 Theses of Contention (a list of 95 issues of heretical theology and crimes of the Roman Catholic Church) into the church door at Wittenberg.
