The Pagan roots of the catholic church

[Lutroo]

For your information, this is not an attack on catholics. It is simply the true history of the catholic church. Make what you will of it. I believe that the catholic church is leading many people astray. You'll see why, after reading this. I do this out love. I believe that the Bible is the sole source of truth. So read this, and compare the catholic teaching to Gods word.

Roman Catholicism -Christian or Pagan?

Yes, the protestants are the ones that have used books of the Bible because they were authorized by the RCC..King James was a gay man, so he authorized the King James bible version while having butt sex....
