The term ‘Papism' refers to the heresy formed around the person of the Pope of Rome (who broke away from the Orthodox Church in 1054 A.D.), which strives to subject the world to the incontrovertible doctrinal and decretal authority of this man, declared to be the “substitute [vicari] of the Son of God”, “Christ on earth”, etc. This is the fundamental and only truly unchanging doctrinal aspect of this sect and its essence; all other characteristics may be changed or ‘developed’ in new directions, of which history already records many examples.

In addition to the dogma of the Pope, the Roman Catholic heresy currently holds the heresies of the Dual Causation of the Holy Spirit, God as a Tripartite Energy (with Created Grace being a further heretical consequence), Purgatory and the Papal Treasury of Merits, Development of Dogma, the Divine Inspiration and Salvific Nature of all Religions (a heresy stemming from the 20th-century Freemasonic takeover of the Vatican),

the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, the Sacramentalogy of Opere Operato, etc., as well as the canonical violations of claiming jurisdiction for the Pope in all dioceses, adding to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, Rejection of Married Priests, Mutation or Mutilation of the Mysteries of Holy Baptism, Chrismation, Confession, and Lord’s Divine Liturgy and Eucharist (unleavened wafers, removal of the invocation of the Holy Spirit, etc.), and the papal decrees ordering or sanctioning the robbery, torture, murder, enslavement, and other forms of inhuman maltreatment of insubordinate or non-Roman Catholic persons.

I'm curious, do you also consider Protestants as "not Christians"? How about Baptists, Pentacostals, and Episcopalians? Just what exactly IS a christian by YOUR standard? Do the other christians agree?
By your example, it can be said that Christians are GODLESS, since they split the God of Israel into three pieces and made one of them a man that was sacraficed (God hates human sacrafice, and would never be a man, that he should lie). There's a reason Jews reject your religion, maybe you can take the time to find out why, since you took the time to find out why Roman Catholics aren't Christians.

If you dont think that Roman Catholics are Christian you are sadly mistaken and need to go and talk to a doctor. That is false and riddiculous! Catholics are christians in every way! Catholics honor Jesus through the Eucharist as recognizing him through the Eucharist. Mary, his mother is looked to as an intercessor, or one who prays for us to have our life in order. The definition of Christian is a follower of Christ.
Are you so dumb that you think that Catholics dont worship christ?!
realize we dont pray to mary, we only seek guidance from her and the saints, who are those noted in making descions through the church and upholding their religion in a time where people didn't know what to believe.

"Why Christians cannot be called people"... now do you see the flaw in that argument? My country has experienced decades of terrorism between rogue Protestants and rogue Catholics, founded upon centuries of unrest, and in my opinion people like yourself were to blame.

That's a lot of information but the way I see it is to be a christian we must follow the teachings of Jesus and we find out how to do this from the bible. So if the teachings are from man made laws and teachings I feel they can not claim to be christian.

Every denomination and branch of Christianity is known first and foremost as "Christians", and then Catholics or Protestents.

Nice rant, however, they still believe in Jesus as the son of god and savior of mankind - the ONLY requisite to being Christian, regardless of the surrounding beliefs.
Sorry, still Christian, regardless of what you wish to believe.
