Power corrupts, ultimate power corrupts ultimately. And that happened to the RCC, when they became the state religion.
But all Christians, even Protestants, owe a debt of gratitude to the RCC. They produced the Canon of the Bible.
And like OBW, and his non-attachment to :"I am not a good Calvinist, not pentecostal, but not cessationist, and don't think much of dispensationalism," I'm not too much with Eusebius, who put it together. He must have been a cessationist, cuz he never referenced the Spirit to do it. I'm not with that because it means that, maybe the scripture is inspired, but not the development of the Canon of the scripture.
Still, in spite of her whoring around, and much worse, the RCC put together the Canon used by all Christians.
Bro OBW, isn't that also something that makes all Christians one?
