The Bible refers to it as "apostasy." The Catholic Church can be defined as and apostate church. It has long ago departed from the faith "once delivered to the saints."
Face it Bubba, without the Catholic Church you wouldn't have a faith to belong to, whichever of the 30 zillion Protestant sects you belong to. You wouldn't have a Bible either to interpret according to your whims.

Face it Bubbles, your church has been lying to you about Church history. There were Christians and local congregations of believers long before there was any Roman Catholic Church. Many, perhaps thousands of those Christians in Asia Minor were copying and distributing Scripture portions two centuries before there was any organization that was headed toward evolving into the Roman Catholic system.

"Bubba," huh? Do you also use the words "cracker" and "redneck?"
