Roman Catholic is just one rite. One of the only in which priests remain celibate (I'm sure you know, Jesus praised celibacy as the best course for those who can bear it.)
And who says Catholics are not supposed to take the bible literally? Except for things that are clearly allegorical (eg much of revelations) or in parable form, I consider the bible to be literal.
I'd say the bible condemns Protestantism.

There is not one word of allegory in the Revelation.
It is the faithful account of John, who describes 21st century weapons in terms that would come to one living in the first century.
Live and love in unbelief.

So Jesus is a literal door, a literal sheep, literally bread, literally wine, and literally a rock?
