Eight years of Catholic grade school. Four years of Catholic high school. A mother-in-law who is the director of Christian education at the local Catholic church (also directs RCIA). Two cousins (by marriage) blah blah blah blah blah . . . I know what the Catholic Church preaches.

Then why in the world are you asking me?

I also know what the Bible says, and how the two are in disagreement in many ways.

The Catholic Church may well disagree with your own personal interpretation of Scripture in a thousand different ways.

I don't care.

Because you don't know the answer, or you refuse to acknowledge the truth: there is no Biblical basis for the papacy. It is an institution of man.

Much of the dogma of the Catholic Church has not Biblical basis, and much of that dogma leads to Catholics being misled not just about who their brothers in Christ really are, but what the Word of God really says.

Living by dogma is not living by Christ.
