An Itemized List of the False Teachings by the Roman Catholic Church
Nov 18, 2018 20:56:48 #
An itemized list of the false teachings by the Roman Catholic Church which prove the gospel of Roman Catholicism has Irreconcilable Differences with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Protestant Reformation happened for a reason. Honest, devout men were called by God to combat the many false teachings that the Roman Catholic Church had adopted through the centuries. When Catholic Priest and professor Martin Luther compared Roman Catholicism to Scripture, the result was his nailing his 95 theses of protest against false teaching to the Wittenberg door.
The Ninety-five Theses (95) or "Disputation on the Power of Indulgences," is a list of propositions against the sale of "Indulgences," for an academic disputation written in 1517 by Martin Luther, professor of moral theology at the University of Wittenberg, Germany,
His Thesis inspired the Reformation, and an abandonment of the Catholic Church by thousands, which profoundly changed Europe, and subsequently the world.
However, instead of the Roman Catholic Church reforming itself, it resulted in those who protested, those now called Protestants, whose aim was to return to the Holy Scriptures as God had written them, being forced to run for their lives. The only response Roman Catholicism had, then and now was to try to demolish their critics in any manner possible.
Following is a summarized paragraph with references found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) of many of these false teachings of Roman Catholicism. How do we know they are false? By comparing Holy Scripture with what is being taught by the Roman Catholic religious institution.
-----------------------
The Catholic Church is the one true church (CCC 2105), Infallibility of the Catholic Church, (CCC 2035), Only the Roman Catholic Church has authority to interpret Scripture (CCC 100), The Pope is the head of the church and has the authority of Christ (CCC 2034), The Roman Catholic Church is necessary for salvation (CCC 846), Sacred Tradition equal to scripture (CCC 82), Forgiveness of sins, salvation, is by faith and works (CCC 2036 CCC 2080 2068), Full benefit of Salvation is only through the Roman Catholic Church (Vatican 2, Decree on Ecumenism, 3), Grace can be merited (CCC 2010 CCC 2027), The merit of Mary and the Saints can be applied to Catholics and others (1477), Penance is necessary for salvation (CCC 980), Purgatory (CCC 1031 CCC 1475), Indulgences (CCC 1471 CCC 1478 CCC 1498 CCC 1472), Mary is Mediatrix (CCC 969), Mary brings us the gifts of eternal salvation (CCC 969), Mary delivers souls from death (CCC 966), Prayer to the saints (CCC 2677), The Communion elements become the actual body and blood of Christ (CCC 1374 CCC 1376).
The Catholic church is the one true church
CCC 2105 "The duty of offering God genuine worship concerns man both individually and socially. This is 'the traditional Catholic teaching on the moral duty of individuals and societies toward the true religion and the one Church of Christ.' By constantly evangelizing men, the Church works toward enabling them 'to infuse the Christian spirit into the mentality and mores, laws and structures of the communities in which [they] live.' The social duty of Christians is to respect and awaken in each man the love of the true and the good. It requires them to make known the worship of the one true religion which subsists in the Catholic and apostolic Church. Christians are called to be the light of the world. Thus, the Church shows forth the kingship of Christ over all creation and in particular over human societies."
Infallibility of the Catholic Church
CCC 2035, "The supreme degree of participation in the authority of Christ is ensured by the charism of infallibility. This infallibility extends as far as does the deposit of divine Revelation; it also extends to all those elements of doctrine, including morals, without which the saving truths of the faith cannot be preserved, explained, or observed."
Only the Roman Catholic Church has authority to interpret Scripture
CCC 100, "The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him."
The Pope is the head of the church and has the authority of Christ
CCC 2034, "The Roman Pontiff and the bishops are 'authentic teachers, that is, teachers endowed with the authority of Christ, who preach the faith to the people entrusted to them, the faith to be believed and put into practice.' The ordinary and universal Magisterium of the Pope and the bishops in communion with him teach the faithful the truth to believe, the charity to practice, the beatitude to hope for."
The Roman Catholic Church is necessary for salvation
CCC 846, "How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers? Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body: Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it."
Sacred Tradition equal to scripture
CCC 82, ". . .the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence'."
Forgiveness of sins, salvation, is by faith and works
CCC 2036, "The specific precepts of the natural law, because their observance, demanded by the creator, is necessary for salvation."
CCC 2080, "The Decalogue contains a privileged expression of the natural law. It is made known to us by divine revelation and by human reason."
CCC 2068, "so that all men may attain salvation through faith, Baptism and the observance of the Commandments,"
Full benefit of Salvation is only through the Roman Catholic Church
"For it is only through Christ's Catholic Church, which is "the all-embracing means of salvation," that they can benefit fully from the means of salvation,," (Vatican 2, Decree on Ecumenism, 3).
Grace can be merited
CCC 2010, "Moved by the Holy Spirit and by charity, we can then merit for ourselves and for others the graces needed for our sanctification."
CCC 2027, "Moved by the Holy Spirit, we can merit for ourselves and for others all the graces needed to attain eternal life, as well as necessary temporal goods."
The merit of Mary and the Saints can be applied to Catholics and others
1477, "This treasury includes as well the prayers and good works of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They are truly immense, unfathomable, and even pristine in their value before God. In the treasury, too, are the prayers and good works of all the saints, all those who have followed in the footsteps of Christ the Lord and by his grace have made their lives holy and carried out the mission in the unity of the Mystical Body."
Penance is necessary for salvation
CCC 980, “This sacrament of Penance is necessary for salvation for those who have fallen after Baptism, just as Baptism is necessary for salvation for those who have not yet been reborn."
Purgatory
CCC 1031, "The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence and Trent. The tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing fire:
CCC 1475, "In the communion of saints, "a perennial link of charity exists between the faithful who have already reached their heavenly home, those who are expiating their sins in purgatory and those who are still pilgrims on earth. Between them there is, too, an abundant exchange of all good things." In this wonderful exchange, the holiness of one profits others, well beyond the harm that the sin of one could cause others. Thus recourse to the communion of saints lets the contrite sinner be more promptly and efficaciously purified of the punishments for sin.
Indulgences
CCC 1471, "The doctrine and practice of indulgences in the Church are closely linked to the effects of the sacrament of Penance. What is an indulgence? 'An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints.' 'An indulgence is partial or plenary according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin.' The faithful can gain indulgences for themselves or apply them to the dead."
CCC 1478, "An indulgence is obtained through the Church who, by virtue of the power of binding and loosing granted her by Christ Jesus, intervenes in favor of individual Christians and opens for them the treasury of the merits of Christ and the saints to obtain from the Father of mercies the remission of the temporal punishments due for their sins. Thus the Church does not want simply to come to the aid of these Christians, but also to spur them to works of devotion, penance, and charity.
CCC 1498, "Through indulgences the faithful can obtain the remission of temporal punishment resulting from sin for themselves and also for the souls in Purgatory."
CCC 1472, "...On the other hand every sin, even venial, entails an unhealthy attachment to creatures, which must be purified either here on earth, or after death in the state called Purgatory. This purification frees one from what is called the "temporal punishment" of sin..."
Mary (there are many false doctrines concerning Mary found in Roman Catholicism, here are a few)
Mary is Mediatrix, CCC 969, "Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix.'"
Mary brings us the gifts of eternal salvation, CCC 969, "Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation..."
Mary delivers souls from death, CCC 966, "...You [Mary] conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death."
Prayer to the saints
CCC 2677, "By asking Mary to pray for us, we acknowledge ourselves to be poor sinners and we address ourselves to the 'Mother of Mercy,' the All-Holy One. We give ourselves over to her now, in the Today of our lives. And our trust broadens further, already at the present moment, to surrender 'the hour of our death' wholly to her care."
The Communion elements become the actual body and blood of Christ
CCC 1374, "In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist "the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained."
CCC 1376, "The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: "Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation."

I guess that the Roman Catholic Church really does convince its parishioners to not read the bible but listen only to the priests. I thought that Radiance3 and Doc110 and padremike were all read up on the scriptures until we got into some of the discussions on Roman Catholic Churches doctrines and stuff but I didn't know that they were all that ignorant of what the Bible says oh I am sorry what the sola scriptura says I almost forgot my manners there for a minute. They have all been led down that garden path and I really wonder whether the Lord will allow them to enter the kingdom and blame the teachers or whether both will suffer loss? Time will tell.

I think you are completely right when you commented about the reason for Padre's anger. The more we have presented proof of scripture against their beliefs, the more insulting and angry they get! I didn't understand that until you pointed it out. I sincerely pray that we are succeeding in reaching anyone that knows that there has to be more , that the emptiness they fill is not right, and especially for all the wonderful Catholics out there that deserve to know the truth!

Only God knows people's hearts. I've known Catholics who go don't believe some of the doctrine but want to stay in their church because its what they know. It's the same for protestants. Some people just want to hear what's comfortable and some preachers preach that way.

As my brother says, I think we all have an inner Pharisee - that pride in our belief. I know I have one and I hate it.

The only Catholics that I have ever dealt with were those that had already left the Roman Catholic Church on their own usually after being in a bible study. I am sure that they learned a great deal in their bible studies and grew that way. Usually they wanted to do more for Christ and that is why the got involved in bible studies in the first place. This one couple has invites me to attend a service in another fellows home and my wife while still alive and I joined them until we figured out what was up. It appears that in this city there is another move afoot and that is to go back and try and follow the Torah of the old testament which is practically impossible. They are even following the dietary laws of the Torah as well. No cheeseburgers for him any more. They have given up lobster and shrimp as well as catfish and bullheads which wouldn't bother me as never cared for catfish and bullheads anyway. They worship on the Sabbath which is Saturday and I believe they are also following all of the Lords feasts as set forth in the Old Testament as well. I guess that the brainwashing that takes place during the youth of the Catholic children persists even into old age.

Characteristics and Substance of the cult SOLA SCRIPTURA
1. 500 year-old.
2. Revised
3. Fake
4. Man-Made
5. Invented
6. Reformed, counterfiet
7. Man-made by Luther
8. Man-made by Calvin
9. Man-made by Zwingli
10. These 3 revisionists could not agree with each other's scriptures
11. Incomplete, lost 1500 years of history.
12. Divisive
13. Now contain almost 33,000 denominations worldwide, each one claiming their own Gospel right, and the others wrong.
14. Your Sola Scriptura has been made as a Merchandise by those multi-millionaires and multi-billionaire Pastors selling every word of God that lures, deceives millions of people.
15. Also used for Tax Evasion by using the 501 (3) c Non-profit charity exemptions.
16. No Covenant with Christ. Deprived of the Holy Eucharist, Catholic Non-Believers are not children of God.
Eucharistic Words at the Last Supper
"Take, eat; this is my body . . . Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." (Matt. 26:26-28)
Genesis 17:7
"I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+6%3A53-59&version=NIV
53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day;
55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.
56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.
57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me.
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever.”
59 He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
1 John 1:7
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Semirah, again you are comparing the Sola Scriptura with the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church has the true, complete Gospel authorized by Christ thru Saint Peter to carry on the Teachings of Christ. The Apostles practiced and carried on to Saints until Saint Peter, the 1st Pope of Christ established the Church in Rome. The Catholic Catechism was perfectly created via the Magisterium, and the Didache carried on by the 12 Apostles
The Catholic Church has the complete Gospel.
These are the Scriptures, the Sacred Traditions, and the Magisterium. The Holy Orders in succession to carry on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Those teachings of the CCC Catechism of the Catholic Church were carried on via the Magisterium.
They are valid teachings. You won't find them at the Sola Scriptura because Sola is based only on Scriptures. Whereas the Catholic Church carried by Saint Peter has the Scriptures, Sacred Traditions, and the Magisterium.
Here is a brief history of that.
The events narrated in the New Testament introduce the twelve apostles, with Peter as their head, who are entrusted with the function of safeguarding and transmitting the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially his death and resurrection, whose universal redeeming significance is proclaimed in the very beginning of the spreading of the Gospel (cf. Mt 16:18-19; Mt 28:18-20; Jn 20:21; Acts 2:42; Acts 10:37-43). The term "Magisterium" of the Church indicates a teaching function (lat. magister, teacher), a duty towards the people of God.
As the Second Vatican Council recalled, such a teaching is not above the Word received, but represents a service to the Word itself; a service inseparably bound to the living transmission of the Gospel (Lat. Traditions) and to the contents of Sacred Scripture (cf. Dei Verbum, n. 10).
According to the Catholic perspective, the subject of the Magisterium are the bishops, who are the successors of the apostles, whose college only exists in communion with the bishop of Rome, successor of Peter.
The latter is also the subject of a specific Magisterium who, presiding in charity, is intended to guard the truth and unity of the entire Church, whose permanence in the authentic evangelical faith is a concern of the whole episcopal college (cf. Lumen gentium, nn. 20-25). Because of the protestant Reformation, the different Christian confessions that separated from Catholicism abandoned the idea of a binding Magisterium for the faith of the people of God (cf.

The Catholic Church has been faithfully fulfilling all the stages of Christ's most precious teachings for his Children until today. It will never change. The One True Catholic Church authorized by Christ to carry His mission to the world and His children.
No Sola Scriptura in the Bible. You could not find your Sola Scriptura in the Bible because that man-made created only 500 years ago. It is incomplete, lack of 1500 years of history, and revised. Where can you find the Sola Scriptura in the Bible? None. So, don't even attempt to compare your Sola Scriptura with the true Holy Catholic Church Gospel.
Sola Scriptura will never reconcile with the true Gospel of Christ, that is the Holy Catholic Church.
That if you attempt to reconcile that it will never reconcile. Reconciliation is a process whereby you identify the wrongs, and the problems, fix or correct them, then reconcile with the true and valid
records. In that case, the Sola is wrong, man-made, out of place, against the authority of Christ.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
The Catholic Church has the true, complete Gospel authorized by Christ thru Saint Peter to carry on the Teachings of Christ. The Apostles practiced and carried on to Saints until Saint Peter, the 1st Pope of Christ established the Church in Rome. The Catholic Catechism was perfectly created via the Magisterium, and the Didache carried on by the 12 Apostles
The Catholic Church has the complete Gospel.
These are the Scriptures, the Sacred Traditions, and the Magisterium. The Holy Orders in succession to carry on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Those teachings of the CCC Catechism of the Catholic Church were carried on via the Magisterium.
They are valid teachings. You won't find them at the Sola Scriptura because Sola is based only on Scriptures. Whereas the Catholic Church carried by Saint Peter has the Scriptures, Sacred Traditions, and the Magisterium.
Here is a brief history of that.
The events narrated in the New Testament introduce the twelve apostles, with Peter as their head, who are entrusted with the function of safeguarding and transmitting the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially his death and resurrection, whose universal redeeming significance is proclaimed in the very beginning of the spreading of the Gospel (cf. Mt 16:18-19; Mt 28:18-20; Jn 20:21; Acts 2:42; Acts 10:37-43). The term "Magisterium" of the Church indicates a teaching function (lat. magister, teacher), a duty towards the people of God.
As the Second Vatican Council recalled, such a teaching is not above the Word received, but represents a service to the Word itself; a service inseparably bound to the living transmission of the Gospel (Lat. Traditions) and to the contents of Sacred Scripture (cf. Dei Verbum, n. 10).
According to the Catholic perspective, the subject of the Magisterium are the bishops, who are the successors of the apostles, whose college only exists in communion with the bishop of Rome, successor of Peter.
The latter is also the subject of a specific Magisterium who, presiding in charity, is intended to guard the truth and unity of the entire Church, whose permanence in the authentic evangelical faith is a concern of the whole episcopal college (cf. Lumen gentium, nn. 20-25). Because of the protestant Reformation, the different Christian confessions that separated from Catholicism abandoned the idea of a binding Magisterium for the faith of the people of God (cf. Unitatis redintegratio, n. 21).
The Catholic Church has been faithfully fulfilling all the stages of Christ's most precious teachings for his Children until today. It will never change. The One True Catholic Church authorized by Christ to carry His mission to the world and His children.
No Sola Scriptura in the Bible. You could not find your Sola Scriptura in the Bible because that man-made created only 500 years ago. It is incomplete, lack of 1500 years of history, and revised.

Radiance,
One word came to my mind after reading this work of self delusion and of fiction. The word is "desolate."
They are the words of Jesus Christ, applied then to the hapless Jewish people of the 1st century, duped by their self-righteous leaders, and now pointing straight toward the Vatican, the Magisterium and the godless religious structure with which they have deluded millions of souls, through their "men's traditions."
"Look, your house is left to you desolate." (Matthew 12:38)

The Vatican desolate? I don't think so.
Zemirah, desolate? Our Church is full packed every Sunday. We have 3 services every Sundays and Holidays, because the Church is filled with people. Thus we provide 3 services so that all people could be accommodated.
There are some Catholics deceitfully lured by Protestants to their Church only to return back to the Catholic Church.
There are also Protestant faithful who move to the Catholic Church.

These PH.D's have spent years of study why the Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ.

Radiance,
As always, you are looking at the Scriptures through the eyes of the world, rather than spiritual discernment, from the counseling of the Holy Spirit.
You are not desolate of people, but of God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the Holy Spirit.
These two Ph.D.s, just as many other Ph.D.s, whom I have spent my entire life in close proximity to, do not possess as much sense as a box of rocks.
Your two Ph.D.s have fallen in love with man's knowledge to the exclusion of God's wisdom.
Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:19-20
For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”

Zemira, what you are reciting to me are all embedded in my Catholic Holy Bible authorized by Christ. I don't take sermons from the Sola Scriptura because there is no authority from Christ that the Sola Fide teaches people. The authorized one is the Catholic Universal Church.
You can repeat reciting those Scriptures, but those do not bear any merits with me. I have my own complete Bible where yours were taken from. We Catholics follow the order of the Lord that teachings must come from the Catholic Church.
Anything out of that boundary is not valid to me and to all Catholics.
Have a good day.
