Humanity has done terrible things. The church has made mistakes. The Catholic church has been under attack, even from within, for centuries. After over 2,000 years, Hades still hasn't prevailed.

A Catholic priest has to study tehology, from 6-12 years. I have never met such educated men. You can go to any Catholic church in the world and the mass will be the same, perhaps in different languages. In five years, the Old and New testament is read in it's entirety in catholic Masses.

I'm glad you feel theologically superior, but I have a problem with priests who selectively pick biblical passages to suit their personal interests. Such as using the Old Testament to claim that God unleashed His wrath on the Jewsbecause they sacrificed with incense and had icons, as opposed the fact that they were worshipping the God's of the Sumerian's and the Egyptians. God demand that we worship Him, he doesn't condemn us for having icons. That's silly.
