Catholicism is doing exactly what the jews in Jesus' day did in setting aside God's word for their own so-called traditions and rules, which by the way reflect the contemporary thinkings of the time. Hence, why the Catholic Church persecuted people like Martin Luther for pointing out corruption in the Church and even executed people like William Tyndale for the crime of translating the Bible.

I wish I could quote this a thousand times, or one for each year of darkness that whore of a church wrought on the world, however many years that would be! And it still wouldn't be enough as I'm sure there are many more horrors which have gone undocumented!
