Did you follow the link I posted? It goes through the list you are posting from, which comes from Loraine Boettner's book "Roman Catholicism", and in very easy to understand terms, with references, something Boettner doesn't bother much with by the way, in order to disabuse you of your ill-formed opinion.

HERE IS THE LINK, AGAIN.

Where are you cutting and pasting from? What is your source?

[Jvette]

That is quite a list, have you also posted from whence you cut and pasted it?

I have no time to delve into each one individually and I encourage you to seek out the Catholic understanding of each.

What I will say is that the theology of the Church is ever developing, not changing, but developing in understanding.

Many of those things you list as being innovated or introduced at specific dates were done so in response to specific heresies or a need to clarify in light of theological study.

The Church is like a darkened room of which the contents become clearer as the light comes up and illuminates them.

If you truly want answers to those questions there are many good references and works by Catholic theologians which could enlighten you as to each item’s origin and the theology and Scripture which supports it.
