Do you think Jesus Christ decided to protest His own church and set up 70,000* different Christian denominations to protest the original doctrine of faith He established with His apostles?
I’ll stick with the original continuous faith of 2000 years against the multitude of disharmonious watered down protestations of the last 500.
*** (Yes that is 70,000 different Christian churches in the world to date)
Any religion that changes the text of the Bible to fit their practices should be avoided.
The 10 commandments were changed ti fit the Catholic Church's Idolatry. Red flag.
The Bible doesn’t number the Ten Commandments- Roman Catholics and Lutherans use a numbering sequence devised by St. Augustine- Protestant denominations other than Lutheran use a sequence of commandments devised by English & Swiss reformers in the 16th century. The Catholic/Lutheran version has the first commandment prohibiting idolatry- the Protestant version separates false worship & graven images into the first & second commandment. The Catholic/Lutheran one commandment forbids coveting your neighbors wife and one for coveting neighbors goods while the Protestant version combines all forms of coveting into one commandment. That’s literally the difference.
Catholicism is not truly Christianity
The 10 commandments in the Catholic Bible do not match the actual Bible.
They put the Pope between you and the Lord.
They teach works are what saves you. The Truth is that repentance and Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is what saves.
I could go on but as a research board, I'm sure that the lively people here are able to do their own research.
Needed to be said.
Adding to your exemplary research:
The entire world was Catholic for 1500 years.

"The entire world was Catholic for 1500 years"
What? No.
Jesus didn't set up the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church is the continuation of the apostolic (apostles) succession.
Aka Jesus and His apostles.
But I admit, 70,000 different Christian denominations would agree with you.

Catholicism removes the commandments not to commit Idolatry.
