They take from the poor and build huge opulent ornate structures, provide bishops, cardinals and the like retreats and homes worth millions.
They breed guilt, shame, condemnation...always having parishioners focusing on sin rather than the goodness/mercy/forgiveness of the Father through Jesus.
I had a dude at work classify himself as Catholic..not Christian. Told him, if you are a follower of Jesus..you are a Christian. He kinda looked at me with a funny look on his face.
The concept to bible study...or even cracking the bible to study the scriptures is foreign to many Catholics.
What better way for satan to attack the church than from within. I pray God have mercy on the leadership of the Catholic church for decades of burying abuse claims, paying off victims in exchange for silence, for the many cases of blaming the sexual abuse victims for telling their stories.
Good news, we have Catholic Biblical Schools.
Speaking about the prosperity Gospel, have you ever heard of Joel Ostein?
