I wholeheartedly oppose most Catholic doctrine. The Bible states that there is ONE Mediator between God and man and His name is Jesus Christ. Catholics routinely pray to a human being which is blasphemous in the eyes of God. They also pray to statues which is forbidden both in the Old and New Testaments.
When you say "Jews" are you speaking of Religious Jews or Ethnic/Genetic Jews?
Yes, and those Christians were Jews. The Apostle Paul was a Jew, a Pharisee. You can't get more of a religious Jew than that.
The above is not Catholic doctrine. Catholic will pray with other members of the mystical Body of Christ (where two or three are gathered in my name) whether those members of the Body are living or who have passed on. Catholics do not pray to statues, no more than they pray to candles. When people have to change Catholic doctrine in order to make a case against Catholicism, they are way off track. Disagreeing with Catholicism only works if one is disagreeing with something Catholics actually believe or are doing. So...don't make me roll my eyes again.
Talking with dead people is witchcraft. Scripture condemns it. There is ONE mediator. Jesus. Jesus is our Priest. That's Scripture.The above is not Catholic doctrine. Catholic will pray with other members of the mystical Body of Christ (where two or three are gathered in my name) whether those members of the Body are living or who have passed on.

Whatever.
...and you ask someone else not to be silly!
The dogma is different the moral values are the same
The Bible also says that we shouldn't give "the appearance of evil" (1 Thes 5:22).The above is not Catholic doctrine.

Paul WAS a religious Jew of the Tribe of Benjamin but converted to Christianity. He "put off the old man" (cast off his Judaism and Pharisaism) and became a Christian. He rejected his "Judeo" past. He never called himself a "Judeo-Christian." He's simply a Christian.

That was even more than less than helpful.
Speaking of scripture....
People gather in buildings, a meeting place for worship. Does that give the appearance that they are all worshiping the building or the person leading the service, or is that just a meeting place? In the same way, when people meet outdoors to worship (as some do), are they all worshiping nature, a tree, the sun, or is that their meeting place? In the same way, when Catholics say, Let's meet at the statue of (whoever), why would that particular meeting place be considered worshiping a statue when the other places are not?
I'm glad you're a supporter of gay marriage. Does that apply to trans people too?
Do you believe that homosexuals and transgenders are a class of people like say black people?
God helps those who help themselves. Put this query, "How did Judaism change after the Babylonian exile?" into your chosen AI. It should confirm everything I wrote about Judaism.
