Christianity survived DESPITE Catholics.
"preservation of relics" - idols.
The catholic church contradicts the bible, the catholic church refuses the Doctrine of Sola Scriptura. The catholic church refuses to submit to the authority of God's Word. The Catholic church is a fraud.
Lets compare some of the catholics postions of that with the bible.
Catholic Catechism:
Part 2, Section 1, Chapter 1, article 2 IV:
The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation.
Lets look at the bible:
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV) "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast."
The Catholic Church is a fraud leading people astray with its blasphemy.
