Very roughly - when Rome converted to Christianity it was a bureaucratic decision to consolidate power under the church. They kept pretty much all of the pagan rituals and holidays but slapped Jesus's face on them. They even kept the pantheonic system but renamed them under biblical terms like demons and angels, and then added the saints to replace local deities in newly conquered lands.

There is no "Catholic Church" in the Bible and the Popes have never adhered to the Biblical teachings of Jesus. They use the Christian ideals of sin and forgiveness to enforce obedience and taxation.

With 1700 years of hindsight, it seems like the Catholic Church is just a front for what they themselves would call "satanism" and they could even be likened to what we would call corrupt globalists today.
