[MarkBsnr]

Then who or what is the central figure or conveyor of Christian theology? Or more precisely, who or what is the central figure or conveyor of CATHOLIC theology?

And you call yourself a former Catholic? You don't know?

The central figure is Christ. Read the Catechism if you don't believe it. The more we converse, the more that I think that there is no possible way that you could have been Catholic.

I don’t recall the Catholic church teaching that I must be born again (John 3).

Or that the work of God is to believe Him (John 6)

Or that salvation is through faith (Luke 18, John 3)

And where did Jesus instruct us to pray to those canonized as saints and to Mary?

Or to establish a new system of works by which to earn our salvation?

So establish a new tradition to replace the one He spend three years condemning because it nullified God’s word?

Where did Jesus instruct us to canonize saints to begin with?

The Catholic church of course ignores Scripture it finds inconvenient. That’s why, even though Peter called Paul’s writings *Scripture* the Catholic church dismisses them as insignificant.

That’s not what I asked.

Who r what decided to interpret the teachings of Jesus to come up with Catholic theology?

I want YOUR answer.
