The point I'm making is that for MOST (80% or more) of human history since the Ice Age retreat the standards were not set in Rome!

Nope. The Arians were in control of Spain, Southern France, Italy and not much else in Western Europe. They had no control over anything in Northern Europe.
“~ well, them and the ol’boys still into Thor and Odin worship ~ took another 1000 years to get them moved offstage, then the Nazis popped up.”
No. The Arians were done well before the year 700. And less than 600 years after the Arians got into Western Europe every last Odin worshipper was either dead or converted. You seem to have little knowledge about any of these things. And the Nazis “popped up” almost 1600 years after the first Arian barbarians got into the Roman Empire. You seem very confused about these basic things.

For Christianity most of its standards were set in or by Rome: liturgy, law, history, doctrine, etc.
Your point makes no sense and you evidence for you point equally makes no sense.
