the church at rome openly does not follow the teachings of the God of the bible as it has rewritten the bible several times.

sorry sport no. we have the much earlier works/written record of the greeks. most secular/atheist believe that the roman church is the primary source of everything christian.. it's not. it's the primary source for everything roman catholic. there was a movement stated about 800ish years ago where a german monk and some other scholars split from the Rc church, and came across the original greek writing of the 1st and second century church. which spawn a whole new completely different version of christianity. one completely divorced from anything roman or orthodox catholic. A system of belief built on the koine greek and not the latin vulgate.
So no we do not believe in any rc specific doctrine.. we celebrate 12-25 because we like decorating trees, and opening presents. we celebrate easter with eggs and rabbits because we like cadbury cream eggs and easter egg hunts.. we don't believe in the power the pope assumes, we do not believe in the papal changes they have made/contributed to the vulgate, we do not even accept all the books they do as some can not be sourced outside of the church.
