Catholic rigamarole is man-made paganism. The Catholic church is a cult which leads to death and damnation, because it teaches people lies about thier path to Salvation.

Many Catholics are saved, believing Christians, but not all. It depends on whether they place their faith in that false church, or in Jesus and His Word.

And you believe in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion?

I'm copying Mark in this as he pointed out something very insightful the other day, lemme paraphrase it: there are only a few hundred or a thousand people in the US who hate the Catholic Church, however there are millions who hate what they THINK the Church is....

Statements like Full C's answer to my question have you read the Catechism of The Church?  Yes. Often.

make me realise that many of those who don't belong to The Church have no idea what the Church is about and seem to rely on Jack Chick tracts or medieval concepts or the following centuries of propaganda for what they think The Church is about.

Sadly, they're wrong and they move away from The Church.  This is pretty akin to believing in such outright lies as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

I was raised a Catholic. I had my First Communion, my Confirmation, I attended Cathechism until high school, and sat through the hours of "Pax dominus fobiscum, ecum spiritu tuo's". Then, in my adulthood, I started to read the Bible.

I saw what Jesus Christ teaches about the one true path to Salvation, and how it is diametrically opposed by the teachings of the Catholic Church.

I was baptized as an adult, as Jesus says we must be (as a conscious, public act of obedience to His Word (VERY different from what the Catholics consider a baptism).

Then, and only then, I received Christ's gift of the Holy Spirit, and had the scales of man's blindness removed from my eyes. It is this person who now writes to you. I write with a full, personal knowledge of the truth about Roman Catholicism, and with a deep and abiding love for you and every misled Catholic follower in my heart.

I relate to you what I know to be God's Truth because I want better for you than the Catholic deception and the bitter fruits it offers to those who blindly follow its hell-bent dogma.

It's online. It's searchable. Any idiot can read it.

My question is why you would believe such man made tripe over the Holy Bible.
