Would it surprise you that there are Catholics who do read their Bibles?
That was very hurtful. You are forgiven.
What I said in post 98 is all truth. The RCC won't even bother to read it. It's like that controversy over hearing Yanny or Laurel. All you hear is Catholic bashing and I call it truth. If you can't admit the pope is a joke after saying sodomy is OK because you are born that way, what else will you believe because some pope or cardinal says so. Read what Scriptures say about sodomy and then tell me the pope is right. How far are you willing to dive before you pull the ripcord? If you can't bring yourself to admit the RCC is on the wrong track, then you either haven't read the Bible or you don't understand it.
How do you read Jesus is the only Mediator and then pray to Mary? How can you read not to pray to idols and then pray to a statue of someone or something? If the shroud of Turin was real, so what? Worship the deity that was in it, not the shroud itself. Catholics have finger bones and hanks of hair and all sorts of other so called relics that they parade around and fall down worshiping. Daniel wouldn't bow to a statue, why would you? Almost everything about the RCC came from paganism. There is very little left that resembles the church Jesus started. Revelation tells everyone that they will be left behind to meet the Beast if they don't repent and you see nothing to repent for. It's difficult to see how you can say they read their Bibles. It's very simple, there is a relationship between people and Jesus and the other is religion that is based on Babylon. The Babylonian religion is based on getting to heaven without God, by mans works. The first act of religion was in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve covered themselves with fig leaves. You can't cover your sins. Your Priest can't cover your sins. Repeating prayers dozens of times doesn't do it. All of this is covered in Scripture. If you think being Catholic will get you there, you are mistaken. You must be born again. That has nothing to do with taking classes. It would take hours of typing to explain how confused the RCC is to the aims of God's church.
