“The corruption of Rome was so extreme that it sickened any one with a conscience.”

That’s really more myth than anything else. http://the-orb.arlima.net/non_spec/missteps/ch11.html If your claim was true, then someone would have to ask, “If the Protestant Revolution (and revolution it was rather than reformation) happened because of “Rome’s corruption” then why were the new sects that sprang up in its wake so corrupt?”
