When Chinua Achebe showed the horrors of colonial rule in 'Things Fall Apart,' the narrative easily became the African story that impinged itself on our consciousness. The novel epitomized the case against imperialism
The death of the renowned Nigerian writer, Chinua Achebe, has thrust one of the most popular African books in the news. Although Achebe wrote multiple books and produced several works of scholarship, 'Things Fall Apart' acted as the catalyst for his popularity, sending the Nigerian writer to the highest plateaus of academic fame.
How did 'Things Fall Apart,' a book written about the Igbo people in Nigeria, become an explanatory voice for colonially oppressed societies all over Africa? The literary tenor used by Achebe to write 'Things Fall Apart,' is the first reason behind the book's popularity. Any exhaustive commentary on 'Things Fall Apart,' must recognize the book's flair for weaving Igbo words and phrases with the English language.
By partly Africanizing the English language to tell an African story, Achebe was able to show a pre-colonial Igbo society equipped with the ability for self-rule. Through the book's main character, Okonkwo, Achebe showed how pre-colonial Igbo society dealt with crime and punishment. When Okonkwo committed what could be termed in today's legal systems as manslaughter, the response from the oracles at Umuofia was swift and judicious.
Once it became clear that Okonkwo's accidentally-discharged gun was responsible for killing a citizen of the land, the oracles pronounced a verdict, which ordered Okonkwo's seven-year exile from the land he loved. Despite his enormous stature in Igbo society, Okonkwo was subjected to the rule of law through a cultural edict, forcing a seemingly untouchable man into seven anguishing years of exile.

Answer
Because many lies entered the Catholic church.
The church of Pergamos was founded by Nicolaitanes - Nicolaitanism), and was a Christian heresy first mentioned (twice) in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament.
Nicolaitane means âa follower of Nicolas.â It originates from the Greek words, nikos meaning âconquererâ or âdestroyer,â and laos, meaning âpeople.â The original NicolasâNimrod (Gen. 10:8)âwas a destroyer of the people. Nicolas is merely the Greek word for Nimrod.
Within two centuries after the Flood, Nimrod had conquered the people and founded man-made civilization. Nimrod was a Nephilim giant.
The church of Pergamos is blamed for having them who hold their "doctrines" (Rev 2:15).
They were seemingly a class of professing Christians, who sought to introduce into the church a false freedom or licentiousness, thus abusing Paul's doctrine of grace (Compare Pe2 2:15, Pe2 2:16, Pe2 2:19), and were probably identical with those who held the doctrine of Baalam (q.v.), Rev 2:14.
The Church of Pergamos was from 313--A.D. -- 606. This spans the time from Constantine's Edict of Toleration for Christians to what is considered the first actual true pope and the beginnings of the Catholic Church.
This is the root system building up to the Catholic Church.
Because of the heresy/doctrine/lies which entered the Catholic church, it's subjects suffered mental and sexual health problems in later life, they were also highly educated and used to prop up an empire.
Lies go way back:
Evil is lies, it is not a monster, lies create monsters.
Acts Chapter 15:24
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
Also due to lies in the Kings James version of the Bible we have African Witch children who are abused. (People also profiting from religion in Nigeria target the fear of "What if" - Then use lies for their own personal gains)
Exodus 22:18
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

In 1209, Louis VIII of France through Pope Innocent III in Bezier raised Catholic forces and massacred 20,000 Gnosticâs who made every effort to follow the teachings of Jesus.
They believed that there were two "gods" â one malevolent in charge of all visible and material things held responsible for all the atrocities in the Old Testament, http://www.nobeliefs.com/DarkBible/darkbible3.htm - and a benevolent god responsible for the message of Jesus.
The decline of the Roman Empire led to the Spanish Inquisition (Tribunal established in 1480 by Catholic Monarchs) > People deluded by heretics accusing people of being heretics, which lead to the worst torture of human beings imaginable.
