The result has been thousands of Protestant denominations; each little Protestant pope setting up their interpretation of Scripture as the one that is correct.

That is hardy a fair assessment, but even were it true, that end is the result of RCC manipulations which were the cause for reform in the first place.

That is hardy a fair assessment

It is very fair, and true. Look at all the conflicting doctrine regarding salvation among the various Protestant denominations. The Holy Spirit isn't in conflict with the truth.

that end is the result of RCC manipulations which were the cause for reform in the first place.

Reform, yes. But the Reformation wasn't about reform, it was about starting separate churches, with each adherring to its own traditions of man, based on their individual interpretations (and sometimes manipulations) of Scripture.
