Could it be you are ignorant?
Well, if my theology deviated as far from the Scripture as Rome's has, then yes, I would be ignorant. But, read the Book, my FRiend...none of the cult-like operations promulgated by Rome are listed there. In the New Covenant there is no absolution of sin through a "priest", there is no transubstantiation, there is no genuflecting, there is no purgatory, there are no seven sacraments, there are no "Saints" (with a capital S), there are candles, there is no "Rome".
If the RC constituents would read their Bibles (you know, that Book that Rome claims to have delivered to the world, gag), they would find that God, before the foundation of the world, elected some to be granted grace to salvation, through a faith, none of which is their own. The entire package is a gift given to those whom He has chosen, not by any work, lest Rome get puffed up with its own press (a loose paraphrase). Go read it, my FRiend. If you are among those Jesus is drawing, you will recognize the truthfulness of these remarks and swim the Tiber...the other direction.
