    Catholicism shares some common belief systems with Christianity, but does not hold to the true doctrine. Many traditions and rules are added which God never said. Also, they break many rules in the Bible, such as worshipping and praying to Angels, Saints, and Mary. They believe Mary was sinless, and the Bible says "all have fallen short of the glory of God." They call the pope father and rely on him to be the mediator to God and forgive sins, but the Bible clearly states that Jesus Christ alone holds that authority. Also, some Catholics believe that there are many roads to heaven, when the Bible says that Jesus Christ is the only way. Also, the Bible teaches that is by God's grace alone through the death of His son Jesus which provides the only way into Heaven, Catholicism teaches that it is by good works.

    Catholics are about doing religion their way and calling it the only true church.

    Catholics are about making mary sinless and in heaven sitting next to God.

    Catholics are about twisting the Scriptures to deceive people into following mary instead of Jesus.

    Catholics are like the Pharisees of the old testament, having a knowledge of the truth but refusing to follow God.

    We believe in one God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth, of all things both visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all time; light from light, true God from true God; begotten, not created, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For the sake of us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was made flesh by the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life; he proceeds from the Father and the Son, is adored and honored together with the Father and the Son; he spoke through the prophets. We believe in one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church. We profess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We expect the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

    I assume they too believe in God.

    The religion is just another avenue for you to get closer to God. As for the people in that religion, that's another story.

    Oh they're about 3ft tall. It's true you know, even the pope is a midget and lives in a wee palace designed for hamsters.
