Here is where I believe that the Catholic church is wrong:

Praying to saints
Praying to Mary
Holding Mary above all other sinners
Not allowing Priests to marry
Nuns as the bride of Christ
your version of the communion
Indulgences


I could go on, but you get the idea. You cannot justify any of these without reading things into scripture that aren't there. You have to use "Tradition" instead of scripture. REMEMBER, these are my beliefs as to where you are wrong, but none of these practices will keep you out of heaven.

I intend NO harm or injury with these statements, only clarification of my beliefs.

If you can find "faith alone" in Scripture where it is never explicitly taught (and actually contradicted) you should understand how we can find doctrines in Scripture that are not of the "bumper sticker" variety.
