Because I believe he's speaking truth and I appreciate his writing (and I don't believe the Catholic church is all "evil" and/or apostate as your response seems to imply).
The Roman Catholic Church is blasphemous, heretical, and idolatrous. They teach salvation by good works, they damn millions to hell by their false gospel. You admitted that your mum and dad have been deceived for years. The church prays to the dead. They worship and pray to Mary for intercession with Jesus. They worship dead “saints” and pray to them for answers to prayer.
1 Timothy 2:5-6 expressly states,
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time”
Jesus taught in John 14:6:
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
This couldn’t be any clearer! There is no Plan B. There is no back-doors into heaven. There is no alternative salvation. There is no other means of man gaining favor with God! There is no other way to become a child of God. There is no other path to be God’s one of God’s elect.
The Roman Catholic Church have multiple stone images that they venerate. They bow down to images. They term Mary "Mother of God." They venerate angels and dead saints. Deuteronomy 5:7-9:
“Thou shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”
The Roman Catholic Church have INVENTED purgatory in between heaven and hell. Catholic Encyclopedia says: “Purgatory (Lat., "purgare", to make clean, to purify) in accordance with Catholic teaching is a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God's grace, are, not entirely free from venial faults, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions.”
How can you justify sitting in the midst of this?
2 Timothy 2:19 tells us that
“Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
1 Thessalonians 5:22:
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
Prov 3:7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
They say the Pope is the head of their church, when Jesus is the head of the real Church. They teach the Pope is “infallibility.” They require their people to go to a priest for forgiveness, and he supposedly gives absolution from sins. They sell indulgences as a remission before God of the temporal punishment. They teach and practice transubstantiation the wine and bread changing literally into Jesus blood and body.
Galatians 1:8-9:
“though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
The Roman Catholic Church say they are the only true church and there is no salvation outside of it. Under paragraph # 816 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we read, "The Second Vatican Council's Decree on Ecumenism explains: 'For it is through Christ's Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help toward salvation, that the fullness of the means of salvation can be obtained. It was to the apostolic college alone, of which Peter is the head, that we believe that our Lord entrusted all the blessings of the New Covenant, in order to establish on earth the one Body of Christ into which all those should be fully incorporated who belong in any way to the People of God.'" (C.C.C. # 816)
The New Catholic Catechism (paras 819 and 846) tells us that a person “could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.”
They require Roman Catholic Church Baptism for salvation. They do not recognize any other baptizm. They say: "Baptism is the first and chief sacrament of forgiveness of sins because it unites us with Christ, who died for our sins and rose for our justification, so that 'we too might walk in newness of life,'" (CCC 977).
“Baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed and who have had the possibility of asking for this sacrament. The Church does not know of any means other than Baptism that assures entry into eternal beatitude" (CCC 1257).
The Lord encountered the same proponents of dead religion in his day, when he confronted the ‘religious’ Pharisees of the day. In doing so, He directly addressed the solemn subject of hell, saying,
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.” He then asserted, “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” (Matthew 23: 27&33).
Galatians 1:6-8 warns,
“there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed”
The Bible solemnly says:
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20).
They are a corrupt and perverted church. They will not let their priests marry. Their church is riddled with thousands pedophile priests globally. The church is falling apart at the seams. Young people are abandoning the hypocrisy. The priesthood is filled with homosexual child abusers. 10,000s priests have been outed throughout the world annually. This is the harlot of Babylon.
I stand shoulder to shoulder with countless millions of Bible-believing Christian, Protestant Church (meaning protesting churches) that solidly stand against the evil of Rome, including the evangelical/Pentecostal movements. Millions of Catholics are abandoning this evil religious system in North America and South America, and throughout civilized nations. Whole nations in South America are becoming Protestant. The truth is prevailing. Amazingly, you are heading the opposite direction. You are partaking in her hypocrisy. You are condoning her beliefs.
