I will be judged by Jesus Christ not by a medieval bureaucratic institution in some backward lost-in-time citadel.

The similarity of your language to the talking points of a radical leftist is striking.

We have liberty in Christ, even the liberty to be and do wrong....The book of Galatians is a very good study on how people wanting to put other believers under some kind of bondage.

One of my favorite passages in the NT is in the book of Galatians, specifically chapter 5, verses 13-26. Under the "works of the flesh," St. Paul has "sects" in his list. If one is honest, you'd have to admit that the strain of theology has caused the most proliferation of "sects" is Protestantism.

Earlier in that chapter, St. Paul addressed your point about "liberty": "For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty: only make not liberty an occasion to the flesh, but by charity of the spirit serve one another."

Roman Catholicism is bondage.

Catholicism is only the yoke Our Lord speaks of in Matthew 11.
