Yes, in Matthew’s gospel, Christ denounced every practice of the catholic church as he denounced the Pharisees. The two are truly one and the same.

Strange thing of this rejection of Matthew's Gospel is that it sure did not come from Peter. So somebody else down the line of cutting new keys came up with the attempt to discredit Matthew's WRITINGS....

Recently there was another Freeper who attempted to question the legitimacy of Matthew, but, I never thought the attempt was to discredit Christ's own exhortations. WOW I am still shaking my head over how some things get exposed.

If you wish to know Peter’s view, read Luke’s gospel. Luke was not a first hand witness to Christ’s teachings and practices, he listened to Peter.

There is no atttempt at all here to question the legitimacy of the Gospel of Matthew. You totally missed the point, which was the fact that there is no text in the Bible anywhere that says the "Four Gospels belong in the Bible", or "the Epistles of the Apostle Paul belong in the Bible", etc. The books that were included in the New Testament of the Bible were ALL selected by human beings inside of Catholic Church Councils.

All Catholics (including me) LOVE the Gospel of Matthew, and it is read very often during Mass, and at other times.

The Catholic Church Councils that decided which writings should be included in the official Canon of Holy Scripture (under the infallible guidance of the Holy Spirit), were the ones who PICKED the Gospel of Matthew (and the other books) to be included in the Canon of the New Testament.
