Catholic religion is not DIY says the pope

The pope says the catholic church is not, and should not be a do it yourself religion, but I have to ask, what IS religion if not a "do it yourself" phenomenon? I mean throughout history man has always realized that there was / is a higher power. He then proceeded to try and explain it, named it religion) and later when money became important man realized he could also "sell" it. It being his interpretation of religion & the Higher Power. And so it continued through the millenia that man has interpreted, invented, twisted, & perverted the miracles that are the universe, many well intentioned and yet others out of greed orwant of power.

I know I risk hearing from the catholics "well we are the one true church" blah, blah, blah, but even they have been guilty of the above; simply look at catholicism today and what it was about 1900 years ago when man invented it AFTER the death of jesus. It has continuously been reinvented, reinterpreted, and updated to try and keep their audience. I mean really, by a show of hands, if mass was still in latin, how many of you would go? .

religion is the interpretation of the who, what, when, where, and why's of life, and the correct interpretation (if there is one or just one) wont be known untill its too late which is why people cling to one or another.
