There are plenty, to the point where FR’s founder had to intervene one time and tell them to knock it off. I keep asking those who claim the opposite is true to ping me when it happens. I’ve yet to be pinged. I’m Protestant by the way, and the anti-Catholicism here is just silly.

No, it's not silly it's just plain ignorant...

To be a Christian you must believe these five essential doctrines

1) The Deity of Christ
2) Salvation by Grace
3) Resurrection of Christ
4)The gospel
5) Monotheism.

Any other "religion" claiming to be Christian and does not hold to these doctrines can be classified as a cult or false...

The second set of essential doctrines are:

1.Jesus is the only way to salvation
2.Jesus' Virgin Birth
3. Doctrine of the Trinity.

Clearly the Catholic Church holds to these eight essentials plus a whole lot of other "extra" man-made systems...

Those man- made additions throw a lot of people off because quite frankly some are downright ridiculous and the semi-deity aspect of Mary certainly can be confusing to anyone who takes God's word as the final authority...
