I used to be Catholic; then I read the Bible.

You mean you were baptized a Catholic and never really learned what Catholicism was. Then somebody with an anti-Catholic agenda decided to pick you off by appealling to your misconceptions and providing erroneous arguments about the Bible.

It's a shame. You were a misinformed Catholic and now you are a misinformed "bible only christian". You have yet to actually meet Christ.

Then somebody with an anti-Catholic agenda decided to pick you off by appealling to your misconceptions and providing erroneous arguments about the Bible.

The whole reason for the existence of Protestantism is the printing press. People compared the Scripture with the dogma, observed numerous irreconncilable contradictions, and the rest, regrettably, is history.

Go read it for yourself. Then we'll talk.
