You are simply judging Rome's theology by your theology. But how do I know that your theology is even remotely close to what was believed in Primitive Christianity?

I don't want a laundry list of your objections. I want a contemporary source who described Rome's alleged Apostasy. Someone who was alive in A.D. 250 and watched it happen with his own two eyes.

Suggest you read Romans and compare it to what Roman Catholicism teaches.

I've been reading Romans 3-5 in the Greek.

It makes a difference in the understanding of the texts Paul is writing.

Read Romans and then let's talk further.

Interesting how you defined your demands and assumptions.
