[.. He taught many things, one of which was that a man such as himself was more inerrant and of greater authority than the Church. This opened the door for all individuals to become their own Popes, interpreting Scripture for their own benefit and creating thousands of different religions and fragmenting Christianity. ..]

Thats quite an accusation.. Popes(Gurus) are aberrations no matter the religion that elects them.. You do know the Roman pagans had a Pontifex Maximus don't you, long before christianity?.. NO!.. there could be a lot of things about the Roman Catholic "thing" you might be ignorant of..

In my ignorance, I have happened on a few items of note.

One of which is the Biblical injunction that the Church is the pillar of truth. Another is that there is to be no private interpretation of Scripture.

In my ignorance, I appear to have surpassed many of the faithful posters here.
