Sometimes when a person posts things like this, it is not because he/she hates Catholicism....sometimes people are trying to justify, in their own minds, the very poor decision that they made to leave the church......if I can convince someone that Catholicism is wrong, then I'll be justified in my decision to try to prove that an institution 2,015 years old, founded by Christ, is in error...

I'd say MOST times when articles like this are posted it is because someone hates the accursed and perverted gospel that became associated with Roman Catholicism over the centuries. But, Catholicism is certainly not alone in this as there are numerous cults and false religions out there.

Sometimes, too, people have to attack the motives of the one posting such an article because they cannot dispute what the article says. RnMomof7 as well as many of us left the false religion called Roman Catholicism because our hearts were illuminated by the Holy Spirit to the true gospel of the grace of God and the assurance He gives to all those who place their trust in Christ of eternal salvation NOT on the basis of our merits, works or deeds, but by faith. There is no need to rationalize or justify such a decision by falsely attacking our former religion because we KNOW we have eternal life and we want to share this GOOD NEWS with all those God gives us a chance to share it with.

Catholicism - which was NOT founded by Christ - proves itself wrong on many fronts and those who are diligently seeking to know the truth will recognize this and be rewarded. Like this article explains, much of what RCs claim to be their eternal, exclusive heritage is nothing more than rationalization and justification based on errors, lies, misinformation and deception which is easily proven by the word of God, facts and history.
