Uh, you are kidding right? Every branch of Christianity that exists today as an organized religion traces itself directly back to Catholicism. You are ignorant if you think Catholicism isn't Christianity.
I would disagree with this statement, although I would agree that a Christian adoption agency has no excuse for not placing a child with a Catholic family.
Probably the last thing this thread needs is another post, but the above statement is also ignorant. The one true faith always existed, not just in the form of Catholicism. :)

Catholics put their faith in the Roman Catholic church for their salvation and preach a false gospel of salvation mixed with the good works of mankind being a part of their salvation.They do not believe that all scripture is true unless the pope says so. They teach heresies such as transubstantiation, Mary and saint and graven image worship and like many cults also teach that one must be a catholic to be saved.
The bible teaches many principles contrary to catholic doctrinee and they do not believe the bible when the pope says otherwise. The bible is God's word and He is the author of the bible and gives all truth to us by the revelations of Jesus the Christ who is the way and the truth and the life. Doctrines taught in the bible are true and can never be changed and damnation is the result of false doctrine. 12. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
again;

This is where the Christian chuch and the Roman church split as they have changed the truth (doctrine) into a lie that contradicts the scriptures of our Lord and God Jesus Christ.
Untrue. Some trace back to the first century church. I realize the Catholic church claims to *be* the same church, but that is a matter of faith, not a demonstrated fact.
Even Eastern Orthodox (who have *never* bowed to the pope) or coptic?
Don't you mean all Christian religions trace their origins back to CHRIST?
Um, just because Catholocism and Christianity have the same roots does not make the same. You are ignorant if you think so
For your information, If you ever read the Holy Bible, christianity started with Jesus Christ himself. And he was born Jewish. Just because Constantine wanted to claim it and make it what he wanted dosent make him right. The only one to be worhiped is God himself, not some man sitting on a throne having people bow down to him and kissing his hand or whatever else they do. To answer your question NO, its not christianity, a christian does not pray to statues or mary whitch is not still a virgin by the way. they pray to Jesus the only way to God.
