Well, your data is well contradicted. Believe as you choose.
I suspect all the "contradictions" come from self-serving Catholic "authorities". If you can show me in the Scriptures a contradiction of my claims, I am listening. Are you? Come away from the propaganda line peddled by Rome, examine the Bible and notice the doctrines of sacerdotalism, papalism, sacramentalism, purgatory, absolution, Roman superiority, are simply not there. I'll believe what the Scriptures teach...you may believe what "you choose".
