Agree, Most Catholics are so weak in understanding and the practice of their own religion that if they have Christ in their heart they are probably on the right side of things.
I can't judge the ignorant because in my own way I am not 100% right with God either. I put my faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of my own ignorance and failing as well.
Right...as none of us ever are. We will never be perfect but we still continue to run the race. But relying on some to intercede for you when we can simply pray makes no sense to me a long with all the ritual, power structure etc.
There are good Catholics out there; but again the foundation of Catholicism in my opinion is in direct conflict with what is actually in His word.
Our final authority on all matters must always be the Bible; not man's interpretation of what it says or personal beliefs.
Not even going to engage you...won't change your mind. But you are free to interpret Bible as you see fit and I will do the same. I pray that you get into His word.
My anti-Catholic Church mind was changed when God freed it from the chains imposed by Sola Scriptura. I certainly didn't go from being a Protestant to being a Catholic just to go back to being a Protestant.
And I don't appreciate the anti-Catholic rhetoric and so when people throw it out, I rebut.

You mean your personal interpretation of the Bible.
Nothing Godly about that, and it's certainly not in the Bible. You only believe it because Martin Luther thought it up on the toilet.
