A list of false teachings in the Roman Catholic Church
by Matt Slick

The Protestant Reformation happened for a reason. Basically, it was to combat the many false teachings that the Roman Catholic Church had adopted through the centuries. When Martin Luther compared Catholicism to Scripture, the result was his nailing the 95 theses to the Wittenberg door. However, instead of reforming the Roman Catholic Church, it resulted in the protesters, the Protestants, whose aim was to get back to the Scriptures.

Following is a summarized paragraph with references found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) of many of the false teachings of Roman Catholicism. How do we know they are false? By comparing Scripture with what is taught.

1. 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."

Is this true or not?

Catholics are just deceiving themselves.

Insecure protestants...always demonizing the Catholic Church in a bid to gain relevance.

Yet the Catholic Church keeps waxing strong while they keep splitting to millions of "denominations" with contradictory doctrines.

Thanks for the reminder, so on point.

Instead of hulling insults on me, just read carefully to discover where you have missed a step.
1.) They changed the sabbath. ie they moved the solemnity of the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. None of the ten commandments was nailed to the cross. Jesus said that that He hasn't come to destroy the prophets or the law but to fulfil all. He said "till heaven and Earth pass away not even a jot (.) shall be removed from the law till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:17,18. Even in the new earth, the Sabbath will ever be kept holy "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another shall all flesh come to worship me, says the Lord. Isaiah 66:23. Sunday worship is never biblical.
infant baptism
2.)baptism by sprinkling rather than immersion. And Jesus when He was baptised, went up immediately out of the water...Matthew 3:16
3.) setting up of statues, crucifix, thou shall not make for yourself a graven image... exodus 20:4
4.) holy communion for the dead. Christ said that we should do the communion in remembrance of Him. what is the dead remembering in the casket? For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing... ecclesiastics 9:5
5.) they believe that the family of an an unrighteous dead can still pray for their dead to be forgiven by passing through limbo and pougatry after which he will be allowed to rest. that is how "Rest in Peace" was gotten. R.I.P is a Catholic belief and never biblical. ...for the dead has no more portion for anything that is done under the sun forever ecclesiastics 9:6.
they pray through Mary instead of through Christ. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12
Sorry if this truth hurts you, you can still make a U turn.

True.

Please let us know what other church makes the claim to be the one true church and can trace it's origin to the beginning of Christianity.

Hmm...I should defend myself before you, for you are the "accuser of the brethren" abi. Didn't scripture tell me not to worry, for in His time, the Holy Ghost will teach me what to say. LK. 12:12. Continue, O accuser of the brethren. Rev 12:10.

Christianity need harmonization, afterall God is not a catholic.

The OP hasn't substantiated his claims.

You are a thief. I expect you to show how you're not a thief.

Is that reasonable?

I also expect you to tell us why you and your pastors are obsessed with the Catholic Church to the extent of breathing it, listening to it more than Catholics and seizing every opportunity to visit the Pope at the Vatican if your allegations are true.

It has to be true...since you and your pastors are so glued to and obsessed with the Church and it's teachings to the extent of keeping vigil during the conclave and rushing to the Vatican to listen to the Pope.

Remove religion and their stupid doctrines and lets all focus on God

Ok, God is neither a catholic nor a protestant.

First step towards ecumenism or "proposal for harmonization" is recognising God is neither a catholic nor a protestant
