If he was a true follower of Christ he would not abide the pagan rituals, the fancy dress and, most of all - the non-Biblical teaching. I find Catholicism utterly abhorrent. Their Christ still hangs on the cross - dead, impotent and ineffectual so THEY can step in and push their man made practices, without which, they claim, one cannot be saved. His sacrifice was not enough - you need their sacraments and rituals.
I worship CHRIST RISEN IN GLORY AND POWER. Being a "good person" falls far short of what the Bible says we need to do: worship God in Spirit and Truth. As the Bible teaches - not their catechism.
You don't have to convince me. I'm not catholic and despise that church for its abominations and pagan practices which have infected nearly every branch of Christianity.
I recognize there are sincere believers in the church. That's all.
Breaks my heart that so many good people, including my extended family, are totally unwilling to see their social club is an ungodly counterfeit. Truth seekers are few, not many willing to walk alone against the prevailing flow.
