I think this is another attempt to take some minority opinion (and who knows what the motivation is) to discredit what has been proved correct for thousands of years. There wasn't any mention of the sources of these claims, but I looked around a bit and found some sources of the same ilk.

These sources indicated a different tone then Paul's other letters. This can be explained just as easy by the knowledge of other scholars, who show that Paul was older and was speaking to a single person not a group as before. Without solid evidence all that is left is to believe what the writer as said. And further what would be the motivation to lie? The society back then is not the same as today. Paul was in trouble with popular thought as Christianity seems to be becoming today.

By the way, Rome fell because the were internally weak and had become immoral. There was always outside pressure on Rome, they just couldn't hold it together any longer.
