What an incredibly sad discourse on paganism. Not one of the points she mentioned is taught in scripture.
Well, when you are trying to put together a list of why to be Catholic versus Protestant what else are you going to do? You can’t list anything that comes from the Bible because both groups have that. So all they have left is to trumpet their extra-Biblical additions.
Modern Catholic teaching regards Protestants as errant on specific points of doctrine but as Christians nonetheless and due good will from Catholics as fellow believers in Christ. As a Catholic, I have known many Protestants of admirable faith and virtue and have attended Protestant services that fully manifested the spirit of Christianity. On the whole, I think it unlikely that Christ would endorse his followers being hostile and condemnatory toward each other based on reasonably disputable points of doctrine.
And no mention of Jesus?

CynicalBear, are you honestly saying suffering is not “taught in scripture”?
