Are they comparing scripture to the practices or doctrine of the Catholic Church?

No. They are comparing their own personal interpretation of Scripture to an inaccurate--almost unrecognizable--caricature of the practices or doctrines of the Catholic Church.

It's a deviously dishonest practice...writ large.

No. They are comparing their own personal interpretation of Scripture to an inaccurate--almost unrecognizable--caricature of the practices or doctrines of the Catholic Church.

If they are not describing an actual doctrine, belief or practice..it should be easy to dispute or debate..
