Catholicism is not Christian. This guy should explore the occult aspects of his own religion and forthwith denounce Catholicism as the heresy it is.

Catholicism was instituted by Christ. We follow the teachings of a Christ. The Bible was written by Catholic monks. Other Christian faiths did not come into existence until 1500 years later. We know the Bible is God’s word. We regard the sacraments as signs instituted by Christ to confer Grace. He gave authority to the apostles at the Last Supper. He said to Peter, “ You are Peter ( whose name means rock),and upon this rock, I will build my Church. And the gates of hell shall not prevail. Don’t know where you get your info. If you have any questions, I can recommend many good reads. As Christ prayed, we pray that someday we may all be one, God bless you.

Aha.

First of all, Christ is the head of the Church, no one else. Christ never appointed Peter the head of anything. Besides, there is no proof of Peter ever even going to Rome.

Secondly, answer truly, did Christ or any of the apostles state that the following things should be done, or are they found anywhere else in the Bible:

-pray for the dead and to Mary

-veneration of angels and dead saints, plus their canonization

-the worship of Mary, which is pure pagan goddess-worship and an abomination(!)

-the concept of purgatory

-the temporal power of pope

-worship of images and relics (idolatry!)

-the Rosary and repetitive pagan prayer

-inquisition

-indulgences

-transubstantation

-confession of sin to priest

-the Bible forbidden to laymen, no doubt so they could not see what a hoax the Catholic "Church" was pulling off

-seven sacraments

-immaculate conception

-papal infallibility

-assumption of the virgin Mary

I could go on and list more absolute heresies, but do try to point out to me which biblical passages justify all these bizarre pagan customs? Let's face it, the Catholic "church" is a pagan sect. The truth is in the Bible, not in the hoax that is Catholicism.

I sincerely hope you will find the truth, reject all Catholic nonsense, read the Bible and turn to the Lord and ONLY the Lord. God bless.

Anything to take the heat off Catholics, am I right?

Not even history agrees with you son.

St. Cyprian of Carthage (251 AD). On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?

St. Jerome (376 AD). As I follow no leader save Christ, so I communicate with none but your blessedness, that is, with the chair of Peter. For this, I know, is the rock on which the Church is built! [Mt 16:18]. This is the only house where the Paschal Lamb can be rightly eaten [Ex 12:22]. This is the Ark of Noah, and he who is not found in it shall perish when the flood prevails.

St. Augustine of HIppo (400 AD). For if the lineal succession of bishops is to be taken into account, with how much more certainty and benefit to the Church do we reckon back until we reach Peter himself, to whom, as a figure of the whole Church, the Lord said: “Upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it!” [Mt 16:18]. The successor of Peter was Linus, and his successors in unbroken continuity were these: Clement, Anacletus, Evaristus, Alexander, Sixtus, Telesphorus, Iginus, Anicetus, Pius, Soter, Eleutherius, Victor, Zephyrinus, Calixtus, Urbanus, Pontianus, Antherus, Fabianus, Cornelius, Lucius, Stephanus, Xystus, Dionysius, Felix, Eutychianus, Gaius, Marcellinus, Marcellus, Eusebius, Miltiades, Sylvester, Marcus, Julius, Liberius, Damasus, and Siricius, whose successor is the present Bishop Anastasius. In this order of succession no Donatist bishop is found.

May I ask you, "son", what are you even talking about? Do you have an argument you would like to direct my way?
