Here is an outline of my understanding of common objections to the Catholic Faith:
Marian Devotions - These would include recitation of the Rosary, Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity of Mary, her role as mediatrix and co-redemptrix, the Assumption.
Sacraments - Infant Baptism, The True Presence of Jesus' Body and Blood in the Eucharist, Confession to a Priest who is but a man, Priestly ordination of men only, and celibacy requirement.
Purgatory - Praying for the dead, indulgences
Communion of Saints - Intercessory prayer, statue worship.
Papacy - Infallibility, Successor of Saint Peter, titles such as Holy Father and Vicar of Christ.
Sacred Traditions - traditions of men, non-Scriptural, discouragement of reading the Bible, private interpretation of Scripture is invalid, adding books to the Bible, changing the Ten Commandments.
These are some of the objections I have heard circulating here on Yahoo Answers and elsewhere. Have I missed anything?
