AMEN friend. I’m a lifelong Catholic, and will stay that way. How will we purify the Church if those of us awake to the heresy and corruption just walk away without a second thought?
You are so unbelievably ill-informed. No Catholic says 'you cannot get to the Son without the mother'. No Catholic 'worships' Mary.
As far as statues, fine clothes, idols, etc -- read Exodus, where God explicitly tells Moses how he wants to be worshiped.
Not all 'physical images' are idols. If they are, you better remove from your house every picture of your family.
Your blathering might work on people that don't know their faith - but it won't work here.
Where would you like to start? With Paul? With the Old Testament? With the Early Church Fathers who were unanimous in their descriptions of the Mass, the Eucharist, and the liturgical worship that you have decided to abandon?
You cannot believe in the Bible and reject the Early Church Fathers. They are the ones who compiled the Bible - the ones that had the wisdom (passed down through the Apostles) - to determine which books belonged in Sacred Scripture.
Or can you point to the Table of Contents within Scripture itself? The Bible that you worship (correctly) is a product of the Church that you have abandoned. Your comments are the epitome of self-delusion, and an unwillingness to research the truth.
I usually don't get this worked up, but to have a so-called Christian speak so ungraciously is an abomination. Go to school. Read what the Early Church Fathers believed - some of whom wrote about the Church while the Apostles were still alive to inform them. Or do you know more because you are 2000 years removed from the situation?
"Mary having co-operated in our redemption with so much glory to God and so much love for us, Our Lord ordained that no one shall obtain salvation except through her intercession."
St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori
"To give worthy praise to the Lord's mercy, we unite ourselves with Your Immaculate Mother, for then our hymn will be more pleasing to You, because She is chosen from among men and angels. Through Her, as through a pure crystal, Your mercy was passed on to us. Through Her, man became pleasing to God; Through Her, streams of grace flowed down upon us."
St. Faustina
Seems to me like your “saints” think that Mary is the way to heaven.
you don't abandon Jesus because of judas

A lot of Christians hate other Christians more than they hate satan it seems, walk away from the satanic church.

For a while I settled into New Age/SBNR stuff but am now leaning towards becoming an evangelical Christian.
