They reject the authority of the Catholic Church.
This is a very serious thing, since St. Paul calls the church, "the pillar and foundation of truth," and Jesus said, "if he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector."

LOL First and foremost the RCC has so polluted the meaning of the Greek word ecclesia that its virtually unrecognizable. Its a tactic straight from Satan to obscure the true meaning. The pagan origins of most of the Catholic beliefs is pervasive in much of religion because of it.

Catholics fail to grasp the meaning of pillar and foundation. Pillars and foundations dont determine the structure of a building. Nor does the Catholic Church uphold what was originally taught by the apostles but have polluted it and added to it. Most all of what they have changed and added has its roots in paganism.
And the pillar is based on what foundation? Of course the scriptures.
