It's a big revelation to me, although I kind of had the pieces of the puzzle for the last 10 years or more.

I used to think they were obstinate because it's been 500 LONG years since the Catholic Church was THE Church in the world for Christians.. Luther divided the Church and now we have something like 40,000 different denominations, all teaching their own thing.

But it is not just this 500 year gap.. Look who is at the helm in the Vatican?!

Need i say more? That guy is not Catholic, not Christian and supports all kind of liberal causes.

I've known that for years and known that non-Catholic people who appreciate Jesus did not like Francis, meaning they didn't find him to be Christian. But I just today got it why they think Catholicism is not truly Christian.. namely: the Vatican is NOT!

So yeh, we can thank not only Luther but all the fake popes we've had in the last 65 years for all this evil that keeps people out of Heaven.

It is beyond disgusting

You may want to look up Pope Alexander VI, Benedict IX, John XII…. 65 years is too short of a window, buddy.
 
It is not that complicated.

Jesus promised that the Holy Ghost would guide the Church until the Second Coming. The RC Church therefore maintains the position that is the one true Church. Not perfect by any means, but trying its best.

This one principle mocks all of Protestantism. How can you have hundreds of different denominations, claiming either that (a) they are the One True Church, or (b) it doesn't matter which Church you profess. Both are untenable.

so true. But some people just do not adequately appreciate logic
 
i still say the main reason protestants are against the Catholic faith is that

well, 1) they don't even understand it (but think they do)

2) they just assume Luther had valid reasons for dividing Christendom (so they don't investigate the history)

3) they are prideful.. refuse to admit they could be wrong about at least a few things

JUST COMPARE THE CHURCHES FALSE CATECHISM TO THE KJV BIBLE- CLEAR TO SEE MANY POINTS AND TEACHINGS ARE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF JESUS' TEACHINGS; SO YES THE RCC IS A FALSE CHURCH. THE RCC WILL SEND BILLIONS TO HELL.
 
The Roman Catholic Church adds works to salvation. It denies that we are justified by faith alone in Christ alone. It adds sacraments (CCC 1129), baptism (CCC 1257), penance (CCC 980), and the works of the Law (commandments) as necessary for salvation (CCC 2068, 2036, 2070). The Bible teaches that keeping the commandments is not necessary for salvation (Romans 3:28, 4:5, Gal. 2:16, 21) and is to be avoided (Gal. 5:1-5). Otherwise, what Paul says in Romans 4:5 wouldn’t be true, “But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.”
The Roman Catholic Church preaches a false gospel.

You're on a mission to turn people against the Catholic church.
 
The Catholic Church is a European model of centralized hierarchy. The priesthood is basically a civil service job, with priests set for life unless they rape too many kids or can't keep their mouths shut about disagreements with the boss. Protestant preachers are more self-employed, so they are more open to starting new branches of whatever they can sell to their customers. Religion in the USA is more personal and local, as indicated by Jesus being "your personal Savior."

well, that is your perspective

I don't care about human perspective

especially when it ignores or contradicts GOD's

Your continued ignorance of the Protestant mind leaves you little credibility for your complaint platform.

well, the protestants here are ignorant and want to stay that way. You can tell by their posts that despite them calling themselves Christian at every turn, they despise Catholics and treat them shabbily, which Jesus does not approve of.

It does no good shilling for the pedophile protection operation. The Church cast its lot with the sodomites and sinners.

You don't even know what kind of Catholic I am.

Tell me what kind I am. What is the name of the "branch" of Catholicism I belong to?

I am waiting. If you don't know, then you don't know me and should NOT be responding to anything I say (until you do some homework)

You are like all the other Catholics, supportive of sodomites and sinners.
