Nothing I said about the teachings of Catholicism was wrong when I was talking about indulgences and purgatory. It was taken right out of Catholic sources put out by the Pope himself. Just what was "heretical" - look up the real meaning of the term - in what I said about indulgences and purgatory?
One of the most sickening things the devil does is to make an ex Catholic believe he is doing the work of Christ by starting his own ministry opposing the Church while leading the person to think he/she is following Christ.
Hmmm...naw, I think the most sickening thing is saying your following Christ and then not listening to what He said; then making up things that He never said - which I find Catholicism doing over the centuries since it started in a few or more centuries after Christ. What's interesting is that I was led by a RC priest by the name of Fr. Stark who was mentoring me to enter the priesthood; and being told to search the Scriptures for the truth - and if I found something that I had not known before, believe it for it is from God.
BTW, the ministry I got into was not one directed at denouncing the RCC or its members. It was directed at teaching what the Bible has to say on a whole bunch of various topics. And most of those topics do not bring up Catholicism in any way shape or form.
The only other thing worse is a Catholic Priest,Bishop etc.. who has the audacity to teach or preach against what the Church teaches
That seems to happen all the time in various places and times. I once approached the Archbishop's office and presented him with a list of things I found that didn't jive with the Scriptures, and he never rejected any of them, which surprised me and my friend who went with me. Yet, he said that it would be almost impossible to correct the teaching that have been taught for so long. Sad...
Remember what is being said,you walked away from Him in the Eucharist,thus you lost your faith
Now, it was more like I found Him and walked away from the RCC to follow Him. Even Archbishop Roach told me to continue studying and follow where the Holy Spirit was leading me. One thing I don't really like is "assertions" thrown around that deny what the Christ, Jesus had to say about anything. If anyone was to blame it was the leadership of the RCC in making me walk away from them because of false teachings.
Why do you suppose very humble Saints throughout history disagree with what you think the Bible says?..
Do you think you think God reveals things to you that were not revealed to Saint Irenaues,Augustine,Aquinas, Pio etc...?Do you believe God gave you intellectual gifts above these people. I'm not seeing this at all

I disagree with you.Why should anyone believe you?There is nothing much different about you than anyone else that opposes some Church teachings?

What's to stop any nut from presenting a list to any Archbishop? It probably happens often from radicals who think they are some special modern prophet who usually misunderstands the scriptures
Did you have an appointment,because it sounds like you just approached the Archbishop without asking?
