Original Christians did not believe in worshiping Mary, transubstantiation, Bishops being unable to marry, refraining from eating meat and a host of other things the Catholic church does completely wrong.
If you would like me to, I will be glad to post scriptures from the Holy Bible to back my point.

Well, now that's interesting, because
the official catlick dogma says the opposite.
Every human being is called to receive a gift of divine sonship, to become a child of God by grace. However, to receive this gift, we must reject sin, including homosexual behavior—that is, acts intended to arouse or stimulate a sexual response regarding a person of the same sex. The Catholic Church teaches that such acts are always violations of divine and natural law.

We accept all of those. Any of them can join if they are True Christians. Heck, we didn't even endorse black slavery over the use of injuns. That's something the Catholic church can't say.

That is true that they teach that the Bible shouldn't be taken literally. They teach it should say whatever they want it to be depending on their mood.
One day it's flat earth, as the Bible says it is and they are trying to kill people who say otherwise. The next day they believe in a round earth.
For centuries they tried to kill anyone who tried to translate the Bible into anything but Latin. Now they are cool with it, because they encourage you to not actually read it. Just trust them.
One day they sell indulgences. The next they tell everyone who is complaining about it to kiss their papal arses. A little while longer, they agree that it wasn't such a good idea.
But the Pope is infallible and is God's representative on earth.
