No one knows as well as Bible-believing Christians how much true Christianity is being distorted by worldly national churches for worldly purposes, but it was all prophesied and is therefore no surprise to us.

Btw, the Catholic Church is not really a part of Christianity, starting with the "idolatry" that is practiced there (keyword: Marian worship), it probably has the most "heresies" in its ranks and was at all times more turned to this world than God, I just wanted to mention. ;-)
