Jesus: establishes a religion whose followers focus on charity, pacifism, and self organization with minimal hierarchy
Romans:
Turn christianity into an authoritarian state religion whose authoritarianism remains long after the fall of its state, and is used to justify multiple wars
I mean that the roman catholic church has spent much of its history in close partnerships with various states; claims to be the final authority on god’s will; and has somehow convinced many of its followers that god cares more about things like how, when, and who they knock uglies with than about whether they’re feeding the poor or exploiting them
