>>and no one who has actually read the Bible would be a Roman Catholic<<
Given the fact that the Roman Catholic Church assembled the books of the Bible, I say you are misguided.
Assembling the Bible and reading it are two different things. I found that after the twentieth time through it, I started to see the patterns created in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament. One of the patterns is that any human organization eventually becomes corrupt. That is why Jesus Christ is a personal Savior. He told us it would be like this. The birds nesting in the Mustard Tree. The tares among the wheat.
