I left Catholicism because I could not support its criminal leadership and it having gone woke under Pope Francis. I still haven't settled on the right religion yet, but I'm a much happier person without Catholicism.
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?

you don't abandon Jesus because of judas
