Nothing in Scripture mentions CATHOLIC at all.
But Catholic teachings contradicts God’s Word. God’s Word is the Standard by which all things are to be measured.

The word "catholic" is from the Greek for "universal". Christ commanded his apostles to teach ALL nations. The universal Church, the CATHOLIC Church, obeys that command.
If your objection is that the Bible does not specifically mention the word "catholic" ("Nothing in Scripture mentions CATHOLC at all."), then you must also be aware that the Bible does not mention the word "Trinity", or "Incarnation" for that matter. Do you not believe in the truths of the Trinity and the Incarnation? The vast majority of people who call themselves Christians do.
But Catholic teachings contradicts Gods Word.
What specific Catholic doctrine contradicts Scripture?

(Nothing in Scripture precludes Mary's assumption into heaven.)
