Let me be clear to be as charitable as I can to you: I do not believe you have any intention of “going after a Catholic on a personal level”. I really don’t. I’ll even say that I do believe (again out of charity) that you genuinely want to help people.

What I mean by “anti-Catholic” is that you oppose (not just disagree with but actively oppose) the Catholic Church’s teachings on virtually all her dogmas except I guess the Trinity.

So I don’t think you are intending to “go after a Catholic on a personal level”. I absolutely do not believe that is your intent.

That is simply more ignorance, and fallacy, unless the truths of the apostles creed and much more that evangelicals have historical contended for against liberals and revisionism are rejected by Rome.

But it is true that those who hold most strongly to Scripture being the sole supreme authority as the wholly inspired word of God, oppose RC traditions that are not that of the NT church , as well as the majority of the fruit of Rome which she counts and treats as members in life and in death (which testifies to its real faith)

The primary opposition is to virtually ALL the Mary stuff, with the exception of the virgin birth, to praying to anyone or anything besides God and bowing in front of statues towards them, the necessity of a magisterium and priesthood, elevating tradition to the level of Scripture.

There are plenty of other areas where there is no disagreement, and that is primarily because the Catholic church uses Scripture to support those areas.

It's the areas which cannot clearly be supported by Scripture, but that rely heavily on tradition or ex catherdra pronouncements, or declarations by consensus of committee, that are in dispute.
