You claim that the CC let centuries go by while the common people are forbidden from reading the word of God….” First of all if you will please go back through your history books and answer this: How many of the “common people” in the early centuries knew how to read? If a commoner knew how to read, (and I’ll be a little facetious here) how many Christian book stores there where the common person could go and easily purchase a KJV? How long do you think it took for a bible to be handwritten, proof written, copied, etc. for the common people to be able to purchase one? How many common people could afford to buy one? These are some of the things anti-catholics love to throw around to prove that the CC forbade the spreading of the Word of God. Besides, how many Gospels and letters were floating around in the early days of the Church? Who was the one to have authority to say “These are the books that are inspired by God”. Would any of the common people have that authority? How many years did it take for the first bible to be canonized? Yes, the CC did forbid and even burned some bibles but that’s because those had many errors and were leading people astray.
You say that it was protestants and inside reformers who corrected the church…. If the protestants corrected it, ask yourself why are there thousands of protestants denominations and still only one CC? Also please explain what you mean by “…the Vatican finally came to full repentance”.
Another thing that will help you in this forum is to quit with statements like “another example of catholic error ….”. because you actually are just stating your own opinion and your own interpretation. It would be better for you say “another thing that I disagree with the CC is…”
You also state “catholic church is merely another religion with a Christian background,” Stick around and you will learn that the CC IS the Church that Jesus founded. Jesus didn’t found “merely another religion”.

I scanned through your post and like many here found many disturbing views. Some have given you great sources to read to get many of your answers. However, I will just briefly touch up on a couple of things that I’m sure will be better answered by experts here.
