Firstly, I am proud to be a Catholic Christian!
Most people (Catholics and Protestants alike) have many, many misconceptions about Catholic teaching. Most people only think they know what the Catholic Church teaches. These people believe what some ill-informed person told them to start the attacks and the Catholic Church.
Matthew 15:14
"… If a blind man leads a blind man, both fall into a pit. "
Ask yourself a favor and learn what the Catholic Church really teaches, then decide whether or not your hate.
If you want to know what the Catholic Church really teaches, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC): http://www.usccb.org/catechism/
Many Protestants talk of a personal relationship with Jesus and I am sure you have something … But if you want to experience and enter the deeper personal relationship with Jesus you may have read John chapter 6 and then read what the Catholic Church teaches (and has always taught) on the Santa Eucharist.http: / / http://www.usccb . org/catechism/text/pt2s …
If you really search for the Truth (Jesus), and the Way (Jesus) and Life (Jesus), learn about the Holy Eucharist.
Jesus said: "This is my Body" … He said seriously.
John 8:32

A stronger is, that really has weak Christianity here in America is freedom and not an attack on it. The people in Russia had baptized more people in the U.S. commist while under rule.
If it's easy, it would be wrong.

Because every religion is doomed to bash. Get Islam bash, bash and get the Wicca especially Atheist (yes I live in is not a belief), getting the bash. The main reason why we domination / religions, no one can agree on a universal concept, and the time that his concept is different, their religion will be beaten. It is best just to hang strong, cause no religion "scould and epically the Bible says people against you.

First, Catholics do not worship Mary, Mother of God or saints. We pray for his intervention in our lives that inspire us to do better. The definition of a saint is a sinner who keeps trying to make the world a better place. As for Mary, not worship, we honor it. and who better than to honor the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ! She's the man closest to God even more than his angels.
I almost never see anyone defending the Catholic faith and it is good to know that there are still those willing to defend what they believe in. I believe as a Catholic I am blessed and I feel very fortunate that God has chosen to give as good thanks to me.
I think people, except for Catholics to be rich, snobby, people think they are better than others and that's just not true. You'll find snobs everywhere you go and the Catholic Church is no different. But apart from that our church is a warm and loving church who just want to love God as He deserves to be loved and adored. With respect, dignity and reverence. I feel really bad for those who have no faith in their lives. It makes me very sad and I will pray for all lost souls, those here on Earth and those who have passed on to the next life.

Not only the Catholic Church that is a beating, having these days is all of Christianity. There is a movement in this country (USA) to remove our Christian faith and the symbols are.
The Catholic Church is the true church, which is why it has survived. It is not easy being a Catholic and a Protestant church that was established. — Let's see the Church of England was established so that King Henry could get a divorce.
Those of us who survived Grade School and Catholic nuns who can say, "Oh how I wish my son could have had the same experience," which would be much better a child, if any.
Good question. Thank you!

Too many errors of doctrine. Furthermore, Catholics do, and what Scripture says are worlds apart.
To pray to Mary. This is forbidden in Scripture, but it does.
The icons are banned in the 10 Commandments, but jutify them.
Catholics pray to the saints. Scripturally this is forbidden, but it does.
Should I continue?

I will try to be honest because the Catholic Church rather bash. I believe that there are Catholics who are true Christians, saved, born again and going to heaven, but I do not think anyone ever been saved by Catholic theology. Your question says it all. To list all the things that "do" and that is what is wrong. Protestantism (Catholic demonstrators) emerged in the discussion about faith verses works. We believe the Bible clearly teaches that salvation is obtained by faith alone, and not by works. See Ephesians 2:8-9. The Catholic church is filled to the brim of works and rituals and penance etc. While the practice of works there will never be compatible with the true church of Jesus Christ.

May have something to do with the good fortune of (Holy) Roman Empire to the looting of thousands of years, dominated the western world.
The Holy See is the wealthiest nation in the world, and if all its members that there are still missing in the richest nation on earth.
Okayokay comment to:
The subject is the Catholic Church. It is a historical fact that the Catholic Church looted (stolen) great fortunes and is now the richest nation on earth. The Holy See is a nation like the U.S., but the Catholic Church produced nothing to achieve their wealth. She stole.
Okayokay additional comment:
Sent the question is "Why the Catholic Church still exist …"
The answer to that question is because the Catholic Church is the wealthiest nation on Earth because of its 1000 years of plunder of the earth.
What other nations or religions is not entirely irrelevant to the question or the answer.
