However, he was a heretic and proclaimed his own religion and away from the teachings of Christ, and led many astray from the Truth of Jesus and the Catholic Church.

He adhered to the Scriptures in defiance of a corrupt Rome, that did not even want to listen to Scripture at his trial.
He did not proclaim his own religion. That is false. He proclaimed Christ and the truth of Scripture.
He did not move away from the teachings of Christ. That is false.
He embraced them and taught them. He translated the Scriptures into the common language so that the average person could read the Scriptures on their own.
He led no one astray. He led them to Christ and to the Gospel of Grace. Thank God!
Since Rome was corrupt, God continued His work by circumventing the corruption.
Rome is still corrupt today.
The perversion is just one form of corruption.
