I heard someone say ,I love Catholics but I hate Catholicism,one could add to that by saying,I love Motmons but I hate mormonism,I love Jehovah witnesses,but hate Russelliam ,you get the picture.Our Saviour came because He loved people but He came to destroy and deliver people from false religions.I notice that our king has visited the Vatican,to meet with the Pope,and to pray with him.There will be a lot of people would say that's wonderful, but is it?,a good question,as an Ulster man am I just being bigoted, the answer is no.Let me remind you of the five bases of the Reformation,'vScripture alone/Grace alone/ Christ alone/ Faith alone /to the glory of God alone.In all those points the Roman Catholic Church are found wanting,One famous theologian was asked what would stop him being united with the Roman Chatolic Church? he simply relied ,'the add on's',as regards scripture they treat church teaching,tradition, and the Apocryphal, on a par with scriptures.Which they are not,anything added unto scriptures will take us away from the truth. As regards salvation they teach that faith in Christ alone is not enough to save us,for them it is Christ plus works that saves/.Their teaching on Mary is no where to be found in scriptures,they call her mother of God,God does not have a mother,she was the mother of his humanity, they teach she was sinless,yet she said,'my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,in other words she needed to be saved. The adds ons will always be a barrier ,I do hope so,I have just touched on some of the errors of Catholicism.
