Rome did not arrive at its dogmatic positions hastily nor lightly. She is the product of many centuries of gradual departure from the true faith of the Church found in the Word of God. For instance:

Prayers for the dead were introduced in 310
The lighting of candles in 320
The worship of saints about 375
The mass was adopted in 394
The worship of Mary began to develop about 432
Priests began to assume distinctive robes in 500
The doctrine of purgatory was introduced in 593
Worship in Latin (since repealed) was mandated in 600
Claims to Papal Supremacy took firm foot in 606
Feasts in honor of the Virgin Mary began in 650
The custom of kissing the Pope's foot was introduced in 709
The worship of images and relics was authorized in 788
The invention of holy water was about 850
The canonization of saints was formalized in 993
Feasts for the dead were introduced 1003
'The celibacy of the priesthood was declared 1074
The dogma of Papal infallibility was announced 1076
Prayer beads were introduced in 1090
The doctrine that there are seven sacraments was introduced in 1140
The sale of indulgences began 1190
The wafer was substituted for the loaf in 1200
The dogma of transubstantiation was adopted 1215

The adoration of the Wafer began 1220
'The Ave Maria was introduced 1316
The cup was taken from the laity in 1415
Purgatory was officially decreed In 1439
Roman tradition was placed on the same level as Scripture 1546
The Apocrypha was received into the Canon 1546
The immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary was announced 1854
'The doctrine of the temporal power of the Pope proclaimed 1864
The personal corporeal presence of the Virgin in heaven 1950

This is Rome. These are the dogmas we associate with Rome. They are unscriptural. All of them are the very antithesis of New Testament doctrine.
