My views on objective morality

Romans he writes a church in Rome he hadn't  visited  in hopes they will give him money.

That was one of the major talking points of the late and unlamented Randy. He outright denied the existence of Arianism, which, for the longest time, was a very powerful stream of christianity, even after a bishop of Rome was appointed. Arianism was very popular with the peoples streaming into the Italian Peninsula, before and after the Roman empire fell. Especially with the Goths.

At Pauls times there hadn't been any churches in Rome. Only small shrines in private houses. So, either that passage is a later fake, or he uses church very losely. In the sense of begging for money from a wealthy homeowner, who happened to have a christian place of worship in his house. He certainly didn't talk about the church of Rome.
