I understand the Catholic bad feeling... However, if you study history carefully it is clear that it has been The Catholic Church vs Judeo-Masonry. The reformation was judeo-masonic, as was the enlightenment and subsequent French revolution. All these things were designed to undermine the authority founded on earth when Christ established the Catholic Church.

The church is in a bad way, I understand this. But please read the Church Fathers and past popes... The catholic church is not bad and has been ruthlessly slandered by judeo-masonic conspirators.

Please read this article and let me know your thoughts: https://www.henrymakow.com/jewish_peril.html

A quote from the article: "That is why we have been striving to discover the best way of shaking the Catholic Church to her very foundations. We have spread the spirit of revolt and false liberalism among the nations of the Gentiles so as to persuade them away from their faith and even to make them ashamed of professing the precepts of their Religion and obeying the Commandments of their Church."

Another interesting quote: "We have blackened the Catholic Church with the most ignominious calumnies, we have stained her history and disgraced even her noblest activities."

I know they've had good and bad people, but you can't deny it strays far from the ekklesia style church gatherings early Christians practiced. I know it's not nearly as bad as the Pharisees but I do think it adds to the word, which is never a good thing. Problems I have with Catholicism:

You pray to some guy named Father when there is only one Father who we have a personal relationship with, making that dude pointless.

Churches are some holy place. We are God's temple. Nowhere in the new testament does it mention holy places. Check out 1 Corinthians 3:16.

People pray to Saints. Enough said there.

It's littered with Pagan influence: ash Wednesday, Santa, Easter bunny, painted eggs, etc.

Your quite said "obeying the Commandments of their Church." why does a church have commandments? Message me if you want to talk about this more. I love learning and sharing with people.

I can't send private messages lol, I will post my rather lengthy reply here, hope it is helpful in some way...

I am going to send you some links in regard to each question, this is because its much easier than typing it out here. Feel free to skim each link.

Calling Priests father: https://www.catholic.com/tract/call-no-man-father

(To catholics, there is a difference between worship and prayer. Worship is adoration, adoring only God. In prayer one can ask for someone to pray for you. Whether it is a saint, a loved one, or anyone else. Furthermore, we do not pray to "dead people", saints are not dead but are "alive in Christ" as the bible teaches.)

The Tridentine Latin mass has been practiced from the beginning of Christianity. Of course, the settings have changed.

Catholics do not worship the Church building. However, churches are beautiful, but catholic misionaries conduct services wherever they go. Catholic priests have performed mass on the battlefield. Here is a link about the "oneness" of Christ's Church: http://myocn.net/church-one-holy-catholic-apostolic/

No Catholic worhips saints, however we do ask them to "pray for us", like the original Christians did: https://energeticprocession.wordpress.com/2011/07/29/prayers-to-saints-in-the-pre-nicene-era/

Here is another link of the original Christians quoted as praying to (not worshiping) the saints: https://www.catholic.com/tract/the-intercession-of-the-saints

Pagan holidays, forum post and replies from catholics: https://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=113267

As Catholic, we follow scripture, tradition, and the church. Christ founded the church when he said, "you are Peter, upon this rock I will build my church." Peter in greek means "rock", so you can't think he means anything else. Peter was the first pope.

Protestantism is a jewish lie, Calvin was ethnically jewish and is NOT Christian. "Sola scriptura" which means "scripture alone" is a heresy. Scripture must be studied in light of the original Christians... Why is this? Look at the 100043104 different protestant denominations who disagree on matters of faith for your answer.

Christs church is not divided, it is his body.

Seeing as confession to priests often comes up... Christ clearly gave the first bishops authority to forgive sins and retain them. So why don't protestants continue this? https://www.catholic.com/tract/the-forgiveness-of-sins

Church fathers on confession: http://www.stsophiaukrainian.cc/resources/ecfonconfession/

As the joke goes, if you want to be a protestant; don't read the Church Fathers.

God bless my friend
