“We find our Jewish heritage in the Churchs liturgy as well. The priests vestments at Mass have ancient origins”

yes, non-Biblical for the Church.

Still, of all the denominations that claim to follow Christ, the Roman denomination has the most beautiful and dramatic costumes and pageantry.

Admittedly, not limiting themselves to Scripture opens up a world of religion to draw from, but still the drama, color, mystical symbols, finest materials, etc. lend themselves to such beauty and drama.

Does the Jewish heritage of the Catholic Church offend you ?
