The “best” by whose standards? Does weekly mass attendance make you best? Catholics who leave the church because they are more spiritually fulfilled by protestant services are ignorant of the beauty of the Church.
The catholic church is the original church founded by Christ and carried forward by Peter. All other denominations are offshoots. Where do protestants think the bible came from?
It is the responsibility of each parish priest and lay leader and parent to ensure that each generation understands the beauty of all the sacraments and the richness of catholic tradition. It is astounding that many catholics think an inspiring talk is of more value than the physical and spiritual consumption of our Lord. It is a failure of religious education ( one that I have seen personally) that children and teenagers don’t know the tenants of their own faith. Are these people asleep at mass? Biblical scripture is read at every mass and dissected and digested by the priests during their homilies and yet as catholics we do not stand up to the charges that we do not know our bible… ridiculous! We know our bible…what we don’t recognize is Christ’s real presence before us at mass. What a tragic failure!
God?
The KJV came from Antioch, not Alexandria.
So your argument is that Rome was/is the instrument and stewards of Scripture, and thus they are its assuredly correct interpreter? Articulate.

You might stop to notice that just maybe you are the problem and people like you that are fueling the problem.
I’m not Catholic, but in general, when people don’t want to be around you, calling them “Stupid” is probably not the best response, as it helps others who have not yet decided that you are the problem become convinced of it and vote with their feet.
I’m happy for people wherever they find their religious home, no matter which direction they are “swimming the Tiber”.
