How to tell the difference between the Catholic Church and Certain Cults

[Eucharisted]

+ Catholics venerate Mary as the Mother of God.

* A cult of goddess worshippers adore Mary as a mother-goddess.

+ Catholics consume Jesus' Body and Blood sacramentally.

* Some Satanists engage in cannibalism.

+ Catholics asks for the intercession of the angels as God's messagers.

* Some New Agers pray to angels as gods.

As you come across various cults, you'll come to know true idoltry, cannibalism, and other such sins, as opposed to those sins which Catholics are accused of, and so you'll know the difference between those sins and the unfounded accusations against Catholics.

I must be missing something. What are you talking about?

Some believe Catholics adore Mary, commit cannibalism, and so on and so forth. But if you see actual adoration of Mary, cannibalism, and so on and so forth, you'll know right away the difference.

Or maybe you'll come to know the redefinitions that hide equivalencies.

And maybe you'll know right away the similarity.

Nah....most intelligent people will see the differences.

Well one thing is for sure, several protestant scholars like Dr. Walter Martin, who study cults never included Catholicism as a cult in his book of cults.

Most of the time it's the nut-job fundy "cult experts" that say the Catholic Church is a cult.
Notice I make a difference between a sane fundy and a "nut-job fundy".
