I am a Christian...protestant more than anything...non-denominational with southern baptist leanings...
above all that I believe the Bible, and it is how I discern, with the Holy Spirit in me, what is right and what is wrong...
Catholics do the same thing, and if they believe the Bible first and foremost, then they will do their best to live their lives accordingly with the Holy Spirit as their helper...and they will be sanctified.
They will also learn by the power of the Holy Spirit that is within them.
Perhaps there are things that Christians of different denominations are supposed to learn from each other...
As it demonstrates in Revelations...the different churches have different faults and different strengths...we need to find the strengths in all and get rid of the faults. None of us are perfect and none of us are absolutely "right" in our conduct.
The problems I have with any denomination is when it deviates from scripture. We all need to examine our practices and know what is right and what is not, and we need to share this with others who share our faith in Christ.
We should not be at odds with each other when our belief is salvation by faith in Christ, and to share this good news with all who will hear and receive it, but we should always be seeking truth out of love. Christ is the way the truth and the life...if we seek Him we will find Him.
If the Holy Spirit leads us to change what we do, then we must do so. This should be our most important concern...how we live as examples of Christ...how people see us live should reflect Christ in us. That is our witness and our testimony to those who need Christ...Us. Our lives.
Take Care and God Bless!

Strange Midge but I composed this answer for the Catholic haters on here and candles came to mind, here is my answer to these people which I intend to use whenever they post their hate and venom.
What is it with you people? do you actually read the Bible or is it Mein Kamph you study?I have read Catholic Bibles and the KJV and cannot understand how you can derive such hatred and venom from these holy pages.
Do you all sit around under candlelight trying to find anything you can to scandalize the Catholic church,perhaps you should read holy scripture and see how it speaks to your own souls and in doing so perhaps you may profit from it.
You dare to use the word of God to fan the flames of your own hatred while professing to be followers of Jesus Christ,and you are like whited seplechures but yet full of dead mens bones.
Take the plank from your own eye first before you set yourselves up as ministers of God`s word and heap burning coals on your own heads.
You speak no word of life but only death and this you proudly proclaim in the name of Christ, I pray that God will in His infinite mercy take the scales from your eyes and give you hearts for love alone,but this will not happen as long as you hearts are hardened and full of egotistic pride

I don't rant against Catholics; I debate their theology.
And I do NOT light candles in front of any picture or icon or statue of anyone.

People rant against all religions that are too contradictory to their own. The problems with the Catholic institution are simply broadcast the loudest, and so they earn the most negative media and public attention.

Majority are blind to their own flaws and from these afflictions they tend to be against what they are blind to.
