It suddenly strikes me that...
Catholicism is the worst form of Religion
except for all those other forms that
have been tried from time to time.

Catholicism is not Christianity. It is another religion, not a flawed form of Christianity. You do well when you include Catholicism as one among many religions. Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship based upon the Righteousness of Christ Jesus imputed to ALL who believe in Him and have been born again, born from above, sealed by the Holy Spirit of God.
In the religion of Catholicism you must strive to obtain by faithfulness to the sacraments, eventually earning ... a trip through Gregory's purgatory and eventually into Heaven, perhaps by the assistance of the Catholic Mary.
Hebrews 11 explains the modus operendi of Christianity.

From the Greek religion of a pantheon of gods, Catholicism has demigoddesses and demigods, the rituals, symbols, practices, etc., are simply syncretic paganism combined with Christianity.
