Its not a coincidence, Catholicism is a false religion based on false theology. You would have to be a devout village idiot to believe that Mary, the woman who gave birth to Jesus Christ would even remotely be ok with folks praying to her instead of Jesus CHrist. Peter was one of the first called by Christ as an apostle. He was hanged on a cross upside down. Do you even remotely think that he would acquiesce to him being the firtst" BS Pope of Catholiscism" yall are delusional at best. he walked with Jesus for 3.5 years. That is the most asinine thing one could ever conjure up.
Mormons, Jehovahs witnesses, scientology, christian science, islam, budhism and hindu BS are all religions Satan has twisted the scripture and some of our population has drank the coolaid. I know for a fact that the catholic church does not want you to read the bible on your own because they want you to listen to the dude or homosexual woman telling you what to believe. The very same for the current methodist bunch. Plenty of other protestant non churches. Yall can cry all you want but when the great white throne of Judgement comes to you and you get herded to the left with the goats. You have have no excuse. I am saying all of this to get you to read YOUR BIBLE and see for yourself. The true Gospel is what was taught by those with Christ on his time on this earth. Paul, He saw Jesus on the road to Damascus and everything he taught came from that encounter because up to that he was killing Christians.
What other sect of supposed Christianity is being killed at alarming rates at this writing, It isnt any of those mentioned above. If you are Catholic, read your bible and figure it out. your eternity depends on this. I dont dislike you. I am warning you about your eternal life
I will gladly read my bible, which books included where determined by the authority of the original Catholic Church fathers, and discern what I read with the aid of the Holy Spirit. Your indictments of what a Catholic is and what we believe is misguided. And Our Lady, who is Queen of Heaven and Earth, gave us the Rosary and specifically instructed us to pray for the conversion of sinners, that she will obtain graces from her son. She does want us to pray to her! Time and time again she has appeared on the Earth to instruct us of just this practice. Recall the Wedding Feast at Cana, did Jesus not listen to his Mother when she asked him to turn the water into wine? Of course not! He listens to his Mother! Why would I not pray that she take my intentions to the Lord when he has demonstrated he clearly listens to his Mother? I love our Lady, she intercedes for the entire world, along with St Joseph her most chaste spouse and my role model.
The evil one is both an accuser and a divider. The “reformation” was a division that splintered the flock into many false denominations. I will hold fast to the original and ever lasting Catholic faith and will stake my salvation upon it. Its teachings are true and the magisterium is guided by the Holy Spirit. I will not be deceived to follow any other religion.
