OLAADEGBU

Catholicism far from violating those Biblical doctrines, as you and your evangelical protestant friends would want us to believe, has rather upheld and preserved their sanctity for the past 2000 years in that wonderful unbroken succession of Popes and Bishops who have been the faithful guardians of the full deposit of faith that Our Lord Jesus Christ intended to be taught till the end of the world.

I have never ceased to be bewildered by anti-Catholics like you, who with their know-all attitude will go all lengths to vilify and demonize Christ's true Church by their indiscriminate and reckless plethora of Biblical quotations. More often than not, such quotations have no any relevance or legitimate connection to the Catholic belief they may be challenging. Eventually they will come up with their own interpretations attempting to water down Catholic truths that are just TOO OBVIOUS in the Bible. Such personal interpretations usually end up in futility as they don't hold up in making any theological, intellectual or factual sense.

I have pondered over many contentious issues like Sola Scriptura, Apostolic Succession, the Real Presence, Justification, etc and in none of these do the Protestant objections or line of argument really make ANY SENSE.

I dare say that it is only from the perspective of Catholicism that one derives a well-harmonized and meaningful interpretation of the numerous Biblical verses touching on a particular subject or topic, for eg. the Papacy.
Only in Catholicism will one arrive at a LOGICAL COHERENCE of scriptural verses and passages in pointing to a doctrine whereas all what Protestantism does is just to pick and choose verses out of context and make out of them interpretations which negate other similar Biblical verses, ending nowhere but in mass of contradictions and errors .

So OLAADEGBU, go out all you can with your venomous, vicious attacks on Christ's Holy Church. Only be reminded that the "gates of Hell will never never prevail over the Catholic Church" as the Lord Himself promised, however much you persistently vilify her with all your objections and arguments.
Thankfully many a Catholic are well-grounded and too matured in their faith to be swayed over by your baseless and pointless accusations.

My only prayer is that Our Lord Jesus through the intercession of his holy Mother Mary will enlighten you and all other like-minded people from such darkness of deceit into which you are plunging so many souls by demonizing His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
