Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church.

The word Catholic did not even appear until the 6th Century. Read your history. Read “Jerusalem” by Montefiore, a real eye-opening historical account of the history of the city and it many invaders and assorted mass murderers, including the Crusaders, sent there “to reclaim the Holy City” by Pope Urban.

If that is so, then why does it seem that the messages Jesus gave us through the Bible don’t look like they have much to do with the practises of the Catholic church. Rosaries, praying to saints, hails to Mary and calling her Queen of Heaven, Statues of Jesus still on the cross, prayers that sound like chants, calling the high priest Holy Father, saying that he is infallible, vows of silence, the “eucharist”, etc. I don’t have anything against the Catholic church, as I find they do good works just like other religions, though maybe them more so because they get more money in their coffers than other religions seem to. And I know there are true Christians in just about every Christian denomination. I’m truly wondering where they get some fo their rituals and beliefs that’s all.

“Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church.”

Funny how that isn't mentioned in scripture. Try again.
