Some pedophile priests have done done a lot of harm to children and to the Church.
But some priests do not equate Catholicism.
The Catholic Church gave you the Christian faith in the first place And it's the only denomination that has kept the faith pure and entire all the time since Jesus gave us the faith.
You would not have the Bible or the Trinity or anything else. without the Catholic Church.
BTW Just as many protestant pastors have raped or in other ways abused chilren, woops I forgot to mention they were even married.

That's what happens when you have your little boys and girls around men and women who are forced to be celibate. You get nuns and priests beating and raping kids (not to mention all the subtle little psychological abuses they commit). It is like sending young kids to prison. Maybe Catholic parents could wake up and realize that maybe, just maybe, that nun is a total b#@ch, and if you run into your priest at the swimming pool, maybe you should accompany your kids in the change room?

Catholicism has persecuted true Christians since it's founding.
It perpetrated the crusades, killing untold hundreds of thousands of Jews.
It began the Spanish inquisition, killing and torturing possibly millions.
Let's not even begin to imagine what abominations have occurred due to the unbiblical doctrine requiring the celebacy of priests, the children molested, the nuns raped, the babies aborted . . .
Catholicism is NOT Christianity. I don't recall Christ taught his followers to commit acts of barbarism.
Catholicism is a study in power perpetrated in the name of mysticism. Nothing more.

Does the word "chimera" mean anything to you?
How about "monstrosity?"
Notice how deep, how very deep, that instinct is on the part of the institution to pay them off and cover it up and keep things going without any changes. Radix Malorem Est Cupiditas.

Is Catholicism christian?
What are the main tenants of Catholicism?
Do they say that it is Jesus only to take away your sins or Jesus and---
Do they adhere to the Bible?
Not teach any precept that the Bible says not to do?
Are they dictatorial in their management of church affairs?
Do they have interface with the people on church affairs?
You answer the question.
I gave you some pointers.
Do they teach to pray to other than Deity?

It hided Chrishna, The Father .....and made Christ, the Yogi who was devotee of Lord Chrishna as God. Infact Christ was in India in missing years of his life and learned from Yogis and lived there as a Yogi.
Soul is representation of God within us as per Vedic philosphy...So Christ was right when he said "I (Soul) and The Father are one". Chatholicism..infact Christianity added confusion due to misinterpretation of Bible by paul. If you will read life history of Lord Chrishna and Christ, you will find many similarities...and here again Christ was right when he said "I do things like The Father".

catholicism is not Christianty! Therefore it has tried to destroy Christianity as have all false religions on earth.
I would not have you ignorant.
"I would not have you ignorant" was found 2 times in 2 verses in the New Testament.
Romans 1:13 - Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
1 Corinthians 12:1 - Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
1 Corinthians 12
1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked. 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
