Look at the photo to the
right of Pope John Paul II, and notice the tiny Jesus (you might need a
magnifying glass). All I ever hear from the Catholic Church is how great
the Pope is, the "holy father." The Bible clearly warns us in Matthew
23:9 to call no earthly man our "father." In other words, only God is to
be reverenced. The Catholics not only call the Pope "father," but
literally idolize the man. The Pope is the vicar of hell, not heaven.
"But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." -Matthew 23:5-9
The Catholic Church with it's gold-plated cups, marble floors, extravagant buildings, and billions of dollars certainly fits the description of the Scriptures we just read.
The picture to the left says it all, Jesus is barely visible...just as in the entire Catholic religion. Mary is praised and mentioned hundreds of times more than the name of Jesus Christ ever is in the Catholic religion. Catholicism is Mary worship! In a standard Rosary prayer, a Catholic will praise Mary 53 times (hail Mary's).
The Bible declares that at the name of Jesus Christ should every knee bow...NOT at the name of Mary or the Pope.
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth." -Philippians 2:10
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth" -Philippians 2:10
Don't tell me that Catholicism doesn't worship Mary!!! The above photo says it all. Pope John Paul II worshipped Our Lady of Fatima (Mary) and not the Lord Jesus Christ. Again below...
The average Catholic is brainwashed with Catechism training and knows little about the Bible. The Bible is clear that we are to bow at the name of Jesus (and NO other).
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth" -Philippians 2:10
What part of Philippians 2:10 don't the Catholics understand? Please notice that the word "worship" is not mentioned in Philippians 2:10. We are not even supposed to "bow" to anyone other than Jesus Christ. The Pope is obviously BOWING to a graven image in the above photos taken of him. Where does the Word of God ever direct us to bow to statues (idolatry) and then claim that we don't worship them? Is this reasonable? Of course it's not. The Bible NEVER makes an issue of Mary. No recognition whatsoever is given to Mary. Yet the Catholics have created a entire religion that centers around the glory and magnificence of Mary. Catholics have even gone as far as to make Mary a Co-redeemer with Christ.
Please notice the scars in Mary's hands in the above creepy photo. Catholicism is of the devil? There is absolutely nothing in the entire Bible which even remotely hints that Mary was anything more than just a humble godly woman utilized for God's purposes. Sadly, over 1,000,000,000 people around the world are disciples of Roman Catholicism.
I plead with you to consider your ways if you are a Catholic. Salvation is NOT found in a religion, but in a single Person--The Lord Jesus Christ.
