Absolutely correct mkuu, Kanisa la mitume wa awali (The early apostolic church) halikuwa na baadhi ya mafundisho na desturi zinazopatikana kwenye Kanisa Katoliki la Kirumi (Roman Catholic Church). Over time, especially after Constantine's rule and the Edict of Milan (313 AD), Christianity became entangled with political power and pagan traditions.
Mfano:
1. Viongozi wa Kanisa kupewa vyeo vya kifalme like "Pontifex Maximus" which was originally a pagan Roman title.
2. Ibada kwa watakatifu na sanamu which was not practiced by early Christians. Hii inaonekana kama kuiga tamaduni za kipagani.
3. Mafundisho kama purgatory, indulgences, na kuabudu Mariamu haya hayako wazi wala hayakufundishwa na Yesu au mitume wake.
Therefore, it's fair to say that Roman Catholicism, from a theological and ecclesiological lens, is distinct from the original apostolic faith.
