1. Catholics must attend Sunday Masses EVERY week.
Protestants NEVER have to attend any Sunday service.
2. Catholics must attend Mass on "holy days of obligation" (Christmas, Assumption, etc.).
Protestants NEVER have to attend any of these services.
3. Catholics must receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation at least twice a year.
Protestants don't have this Sacrament. They need only say: "Sorry, Lord" and they are forgiven, even if it happens ten times a day.
4. Catholics must receive Holy Communion at least twice a year.
Protestants don't have to do this.
5. Catholics must observe some Lenten fasting .
Protestants don't have to do this.
6. Catholics must observe the MEATLESS Fridays during Lent and on Ash Wednesday
Protestants don't have to do this.
7. Catholics may not remarry after divorce. Divorce/remarriage = forbidden by the Church.
Protestants can marry, divorce, remarry, divorce, remarry, divorce...just like the long-dead King Henry VIII. HIS wives: divorced; beheaded; died; divorced; beheaded; survived.
8. Same gender marriage is FORBIDDEN in the Catholic Church.
In some Protestant denominations men are allowed to marry other men; Protestant women are allowed to marry other women.
9. Catholics must wrestle with both mortal and venial sins.
Protestants don't have that equivocation. I don't know it they recognize if there is a difference. Perhaps all sin is the same.
10. There IS one unforgivable sin in the Catholic Church.
Protestants don't have this.
Most of those are man imposed...not God imposed.
I see you talking about a whole lot of rules the Catholic Church has put in place. My comment was about what God requires of Christians, not what the Catholic Church requires of its members.
Christianity recognizes the only unforgiveable sin is that of rejecting Christ. All other sins can be forgiven through Christ.
Christianity does not recognize mandatory fasting in this manner.
Christianity recognizes we can go to our Lord and ask for forgiveness on a regular basis. 1 John 1:9.
Work, work, work your way to the broad gate ... sad that you are so thoroughly herded by this false religion, which is not Christianity as it insults the Grace of God in Christ insisting its adherents must strive to obtain what GOD alone gives by HIS Grace not their merits. You might learn something really deep if you study 1 Cor 5:3-5. Then again ...
Oh?
Got a link to the List of these?
.
Nothing in your list is anywhere to be found in the word of Yehova.
They are all tenets of a purely man made, man worshiping false “Faith.”
.
IOW, the Catholic church lays a lot of requirements on its membership that God never does.
No, Christians don’t HAVE TO attend services every Sunday but they do any way. Cause they WANT TO.
When they do it because they want to then the leadership doesn’t feel it has to FORCE Sunday attendance on it’s membership under the threat of hellfire and brimstone.
