Such little faith and reject the Words of Jesus and His Church.

Rejecting the Catholic Church can be seen as rejecting Jesus, as the Church is His mystical body on earth (1 Corinthians 12:27). The Catholic Church holds that it is the one true Church founded by Christ (Matthew 16:18-19), and through it, the fullness of the means of salvation is available (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 816).

Jesus warned that following Him might cause division, even within families (Matthew 10:34-36). While personal faith journeys can be complex, the Church invites all to explore its teachings and sacraments, which are believed to be instituted by Christ for our salvation.

The leadership is human and subject to their free will, so there are saints and sinners. We know them by their fruits.

I completely and with totality reject the catholic church. It, and its mode of operation, are NOT found in the Bible in the post-Judaic period.

The leadership is made up of homosexuals and those who enable them.

Christ’s church isn’t led by homosexuals.

The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, in order, are:

1. Baptism: this does not save a person per Catholic Answers,

2. Confirmation, which again, does not save anyone

3. Eucharist (also known as Holy Communion), which again, this does not save a person. It is done in remembrance of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross for us.

4. Penance and Reconciliation, which again neither saves anyone

5. Anointing of the Sick, which again does not save anyone

6. Matrimony (Marriage), which again does not save anyone

and 7. Holy Orders which again does not save anyone

That's 0 for 7.

Rome has listed a number of things a person can do....however, not one of these saves anyone.

Only calling upon the name of the Lord will save anyone. That's no where on this list of sacraments of Roman Catholicism.
