As I’ve said before, I’m just trying to show that Catholicism is the practice of worshipping a man made religion. Every small part of the Catholic faith is designed to do but one thing. That is to make the Catholic feel Holier through Catholicism than if they simply went straight to Christ as the Bible tells us to. The basic message of Catholicism is, “you might not be heard by going straight to Christ so here are some things you can do to get a better connection.” Catholicism pushes people away from a one on one relationship with Christ. :-)

Hence your attacks are based on false teaching. The True Church teaches us that the ONLY way to Heaven is through Our Lord. Period.

An accidental truth. The "one thing" is to SAVE SOULS.

Grammar aside, the sentence is a blatant falsehood. Recall WHO the Father of Lies is. Ask yourself the role he plays here.

oookayyy, but your argument gets devalued if you post Origen, was extremely proactive in his aggressive revision of God’s Holy Words. His version combined his own works known as the Apocrypha with the Hebrew New Testament in a Greek version (the language of the proud intellectuals of Alexandria). which is quite incorrect as it asserts that Origen wrote the Apocrypha. That's completely incorrect.

Also, do remember that Catholics go to Christ -- the mass bears that out.
