If the moral is to treat people nicely, that moral doesn't suddenly become false because the RCC killed a lot of people to get its way.
Unfortunately, you usually have to dig through a whole pile of bad moral stories in order to get to anything resembling a good one. In the Bible, to get to anything that's remotely moral, you have to go past all the demands to kill witches and homosexuals, as well as the command to stone unruly children to death.
