I would like to quote something from this website:

Unlike typical cults or cultic systems, the Roman religious system does not require strict doctrinal conformity to all it's teachings, but typical of all such systems, she fosters implicit trust/dependence upon something less than Christ alone, that of the Roman Catholic System. Catholics typically therefore believe in a Jesus that will save them partly upon their own merit and that of the Catholic institution, which autocratically declares itself to be the one true church, to whom all are to submit. Her autocratic Caesario-Papacy and vast hierarchical system is much patterned after the Romans Empire in which the church found itself, and lacks the necessary Biblical warrant to justify it.

Based upon this gross falsification of the description of the Catholic Church, in which the author claims to be a former Catholic, I will decline to accept anything that this site offers. As the failed Catholics on FR show, it is not about the theology, it is about the extermination of the Faith, often because of nagging guilt at leaving the Faith. If you follow the posts, a pattern will emerge that those who leave the Faith do so for reasons of self interest and self indulgence. Those who convert to the Faith do so for theological reasons. I have seen no exceptions and know of none.

When one does not consider God's Word as The Final Authority, there is a lot they don't SEE or KNOW.
