I'm curious, which teachings did you have in mind?

Would you do it?

We just finished a heated discussion about Mary, we could start there.

Would I do what? To tell you the truth I'm not looking for debate; I was just curious to see what you had in mind. (IOW, I wanted to see if you objected to the Church with other things than the usual: "Mariolotry, 'Call no man Father', 'tradition of man=bad', etc" stuff.) I like to, on occasion, "check my facts" by enquiring about objections to the Church, to ensure I haven't missed anything. If I had, if you had something new, I probably would have continued along such lines, but if not, again, it would've been just a point of curiosity.

We just finished a heated discussion about Mary, we could start there.

I didn't think our discussion (between me and you only) was "heated". It's apparent you show reverence to the Holy Mother (at least that was my impression) and really, that's all Catholics do anyway. Simply because we show reverence in physical ways shouldn't be a sticking point, but apparently it is for some. But again, as far as you and I go, I had no problem with your position on Mary; I doubt any Catholic would either (at least the posts you directed toward me).

So in conclusion, do you have any kind of list of "Biblical objections" to the Church? Again, I'm curious.

OH, I'm sorry I just understood what you meant by this question.

It would have to be very very very strong evidence at this point in my life. I've had numerous people claim to me, "I can show you, from Scripture, how the CC is wrong", and each time I check their facts, I find how there is a perfectly reasonable explanation as to how they are wrong, and the Church is right. I can't tell you how many times I've wasted my time checking up on such claims.

But that doesn't mean I don't remain open; and it doesn't mean I'm not still willing to check a claim. OTHER than the usual pabulum I described above of course.
