Yeah, after 1,600 years, along come the protestors and decide that the religion, which they seek to redefine in their own perverted image is really a cult.....thanks, after practicing the true Christian religion for 2,015 years, we are so happy that you came along to save us from ourselves.......good grief.
If you want to start your own religion as did mohammed and joe smith, feel free to do so, just don't pretend that it is Christian.......it isn't
You are free to dig your own grave. Roman Catholicism isn't Christianity, and it is not my OPINION!!! It is based on the extraneous and evil additions to God's Holy Word and plan, from the cult sourced on the Tiber in Rome. It is a poisonous group which indoctrinates and holds fast to the minds of the weak and unsure. It offers a feel-good-about-myself religious experience, not a relationship with God, through Christ. It depends on a cultic worship of a goddess, which holds control over the minds and offers a tangible, touchable statue or depiction to use as a crutch!
Roman Catholicism offers a woman on the throne holding a baby... and deifies her beyond imagination. Christianity offers a Risen Christ that died for our sins, and left the cross far behind! Roman Catholicism keeps Him on that Cross, and tells you to "go see His mother"!!
Good luck with that. BTW, where is your refutation of the premise of the article?
Mark 8: ... 33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. Get behind me, Satan! he said. You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns. ...
