A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
Jesus Christ

Red letter edition bibles are those in which the Dominical words—those spoken by Jesus Christ, commonly only those spoken during his corporeal life on Earth—are printed rubricated, in red ink. This is a modern practice derived from the art and Roman Catholic practice in mediaeval scriptoria of rubricating headings, leading letters of sectional text, and words of text in manuscripts for emphasis, similar to italicization.
I think you are in the right ball park.
But in general, Christianity has never been based strictly on written scripture. It is equally based on tradition. There is long tradition in certain realms of Christianity that actions are just as important as faith. In fact, actions may just be another extension of faith.
In theory, the church was always supposed to side with the poor and the oppressed. Even if a lot of the time, they didn't.
Liberation theology, I think is premised on putting Christian tradition into action by openly siding with the oppressed to improve the human condition of this world, and not just waiting around for salvation in the next.

and its when they turned from directly helping those that needed it to influencing governments is where it took it's eye off the ball.
IMHO
Instead of using that cash to teach men to fish, they bought beautiful statues, fabulous cathedrals, snazzy clothes and Popemobiles. This applies to more than just the RCC but obviously they have the most noted instances of it.
And America used to understand this very well as they encoded that there be NO establishment of religion in its founding document. They knew very well the result of marrying church to state. They saw the result all throughout the Old World and were to have none of that here.
