The Catholic Church and Her Bible condemn the idea that one can work his way to Heaven on his own merit or that God "owes" a person for doing the right things.

What chutzpah!

HER Bible?

The Bible is GOD'S Word.

The Catholic church does not own Scripture and is not responsible for its existence.

On Pentecost Christ gave us a church not a bible. THAT church which existed 1400 years before Martin Luther came along midwifed God’s word into the canon of Scripture which ML thought he was fit to abridge.

“The Catholic church does not own Scripture and is not responsible for its existence. “

Truth. This just came to mind:

“...for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.”

There is something of the flavor of that in what these people and their Popes proclaim, who have a form of religion but deny its power.
