Why Catholics Are Not Christian

*Christians would never bow down to Mary or dead saints. We are expressly told to bow to only God. (Please don’t try to tell me that Catholics aren’t actually bowing to Mary when they pray to her. They are actually talking with the dead when they ask her or other dead saints to intercede.)

*Christians confess their sins to God and receive forgiveness from Him. Catholics get absolution from priests. Completely the opposite of going to God directly as afforded by the cross.

*Christians do not call pastors “Father”. Catholics call their priests “Father”. I can only imagine how that offends God.

*Christians do not participate in Ash Wednesday rituals. There is no mention in the Bible about that cultish practice.

*Christians do not believe that the communion emblems actually become the body and blood of Christ. All of the bread/cracker or juice/wine elements are bought (can you say “Walmart”?) not handed down from Heaven. Yet, the Catholic church and the denominations founded from it, believe that a priest must bless the emblems and personally feed it to the congregants. Christians believe that the emblems are symbolic and take Communion as memorial pieces to the price paid to give us direct access to God.

*Even the Christian Bible is different from the Catholic Bible.

*The Catholic cross still has Christ hanging on it while the Christian cross depicts Christ’s resurrection with an empty cross.

Let’s add to this. What other differences are there between Christianity and Catholicism?
