Structural similarities alone do not establish identity or historical continuity. Similarity is not proof of sameness or causation and many institutions independently develop comparable hierarchical structures due to practical necessity. You are also taking contested or context-dependent material (such as the Pachamama controversy) and presenting it in its most definite and negative interpretation, which can lead to misleading conclusions about what the Catholic Church actually teaches or intends. I would genuinely prefer an open and fair conversation about this. But when the framework is set by treating contested interpretations as settled facts, it becomes difficult to have a productive discussion.

😂😂I refer to them as Romans all the time and they answer to it. but seriously most of them really don't know the true history of the Roman church and the connection between the Roman empire and the Catholic church. I personally think that the Catholic church owes its prominence more to its connection to the Roman empire more than anything. I don't think it's an accident that the bishop who had his seat in the same city as the seat of the Roman empire is the one who grew in prominence over the other bishops.

I would agree. Low tier argument. Man the other side is wild.

I'm not Catholic, but I'll answer either way, and say no, it isn't.
Not only does vague parallel not imply correlation, as you yourself acknowledged, but literally all of these also exist in God's Kingdom (except for the freedom of religion).
