The Gnostics (unknown, but quite POSSIBLY the earliest sect of Christianity after Jesus) and the Cathars (revival of Gnosticism in 1200s, violently wiped out by the RC) seemed to think so.
Remember, they are the ones regarded as heretics. Back in those times (Cathars) the Roman Catholic church was a MASSIVE political propaganda machine, well oiled, in convincing everyone who the enemy is (not them of course). And much of that propaganda has survived forever. There is a lot of violence associated with the RC Church history. Good violence? Or is all callous ruthless, burning people at the stake violence, evil?
It makes you wonder whether, regardless of what sect of Christianity we believe we come from, we all see the Bible according to the RC church, but just not their particular EXTENSIONS of it (their Gospel)
Who put the Bible together in the order that it is today, in the way they wanted you to see it? In the way that they wanted you to regard anything else as heresy? The RC church...
So however you think about the Bible, you are following the RC version of what is truth, and disregarding anything else (like you can't think for yourself or discern falsity yourself)- according to your belief in the RC Church being right about everything to do with what IS inspired by God, and what IS NOT.
In a way, regardless of what your Gospel is, it is rooted in the Roman Catholic church, because it is based on their version of truth, that you get that Gospel from.
You must know that the RC use a different bible than the rest of Christendom.
Is Roman Catholicism Evil?

Your definition of evil is far different from the one I use. The teaching of the Roman Catholic church are in direct opposition to the truth of Gods word. They diminish and defame the Lamb of God putting Him to shame every day.The Catholic Church is not evil. Although it has done some evil things throughout the ages. Like the Spanish Inquisition.

The word evil represents natural unconverted man, the generation of Adam. Evil things are those that make the word of God as the things of God without effect so that they can be self serving as the things of men .
A proper understanding between the "things of God "and "those of men" must be made if we are to rightly divide .The things of men offend God. No man can serve two masters.
Well that settles that. I'll bet God appreciates your efforts. There won't be any need for Him to judge the Catholic Church since you two have taken it upon yourselves to pronounce judgement. Well done, sirs.
Do the Catholics need glasses? It says right there in black and white in Exodus 20:4 that we are NOT to make unto ourselves ANY likeness of anything that is in heaven!!! Mary is in heaven. We are NOT to make any likenessthis of her according to Exodus 20:4.TSo what do you call a statue of mother Mary? It surely is a likeness of her, a graven image! Here's another shocker...The Catholic Church is not evil. Although it has done some evil things throughout the ages. Like the Spanish Inquisition.
What do you see as a redeeming characteristic of the RCC?Well that settles that. I'll bet God appreciates your efforts. There won't be any need for Him to judge the Catholic Church since you two have taken it upon yourselves to pronounce judgement. Well done, sirs.
I'm not Catholic, and I don't advocate the Catholic Church. But I don't think it's my place to judge them either.What do you see as a redeeming characteristic of the RCC?

I have known a lot of Catholics over the years who are good people, and believe in God.
How can they be wrong if they have a big hat among other accessories? That is how we know they are important people, just look at the shiny hat man!!It seems to me all those fancy robes and big hats, is quite similar to how the Pharisees operated back in the day.

Look at your own wrongs before you start pointing out others
