The Catholic church doing the opposite of what Jesus said reminds me of the short story in "The Brothers Karamazov". The Grand Inquisitor is the name of the short story and it is well worth the read.

No one has answered my question. What is the Roman Catholic doing that is against the teaching of Jesus? I'm not saying it is perfect but rather what are you referring to.

The short story is in the context of the Spanish inquisition specifically, which was obviously against the teachings of Jesus. The bigger idea is that Jesus taught about freedom and non judgement on the personal level while the church teaches about authority and submitting. It's definitely a complicated thing, and the Catholic church is for sure very complicated as it's the largest organization in human history. I don't know much about the Catholic church personally, it just reminded me of the short story. Worth a read.
