“Catholicism is a man made thing,,,designed to control people. And that is what it has done well.”

I would also add that this system is similar to what Democrats try to do with their big government plantation. Keep people dependent on them and government.

Rome has the same setup, the grace from God is given out only through them, the church, through the sacraments. The members are told what to say, when to kneel, and when to stand and sit. The “priests” allegedly have the power to force Jesus from the right Hand of the Father to come down to be re-sacrificed over and over. Yet this “power” that allows them to turn bread into Jesus, somehow cannot be utilized in order to keep their pants on when in the vicinity of teenage boys. This is clear evidence to me that “priests” do not have the power Rome claims they do.

There in but ONE mediator, who was sacrificed ONCE for ALL.

Who is alleging this?

So you've never asked someone else to pray for you?
