Disrespect is a mild word. The hate would be better.
The Bible is the sole authority in relation to Christianity and interprets itself.
The Trinity is found in Matthew 28:19
The veneration of Mary is not in the Bible.
The intermediaries are not in the Bible.
The Pope is elected by the cardinals. Not that his authority is in the Bible.
Answer: When you show a little respect, you can get in return. But until you learn the Bible, this may take a while.

Oh, it's almost all Protestants, Protestants, or even many doing this. It's a bunch of hating cult members. It's easy to see around here - that the hatred dripping with every word. They are ultra-fundamentalist, cut from the same public the Westboro Baptist. They do themselves a disservice more than they intend, because if you make more thumbs down than anyone. They do not understand Catholicism and the explanation is not good - they are intolerant and adhere to its glaring lack of information.

Some atheists are likely to pretending to be Christians on this board, but in reality many have grown in areas with lots of historical prejudices.
Most are generally unaware of how similar theologies.

There is no "added" book, no "purgatory", no more virgin Mary (John 19:26-28), there is no such thing as "baptize" a baby! (All of them are innocent!), The "saints" who "pray" to saints are sinners and other saint sin that is truly safe! I could go on and on. (You know what is true salvation?) Get over it!

Because they never read their own Bible ….
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

I `m neither Catholic nor Protestant, I` m Born-Again Christian, although most of my family is Catholic. I have tolerance for people who practice religion, but it is my belief in the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God our Father. Jesus did not create a religion, established a church for believers of communication and worship together. Religion was established by Adam and Eve after eating the forbidden fruit. Timber is left well and used them to cover their "nudity" (SIN). God does not agree with their effort and killed a live animal that could do the proper clothing for them to cover their "nudity" (SIN). This sacrifice God made of the points of live animals for the sacrifice of Jesus dying on the cross for us. The Trinity was first revealed in Genesis: 1, Christ being God and man also stated in both the NT and the Old Testament, we `re called to worship God, worship is a form of worship that` s therefore "not supposed to venerate the Virgin Mary or any of the Saints. We `re not to judge anyone so how can the judge of the Catholic church is a saint and that isn` t? When lit a candle and is dedicated to a saint you `re a saint worship. How can we pray to the dead in Christ for us, if `dead, waiting for the 2nd. the resurrection which will take place at the time of the abduction. The meaning of the word Catholic is universal, the Roman Catholic Church is really Holly Holly Univesal the Roman church. According to the Bible, the saints are the living and the dead believers (Acts9: 13 / Romans1: 7 / Philippians4: 22 / Acts26: 10, etc. I think my statements with "not being m disrispectful with others and their beliefs, I `I'm just trying to answer your question.

more, I would not use the word to the Protestants in general, many Protestant groups, Pentecostals and their hates the Catholic missionaries.
His is basically think they are Christians only …
and sad to say people who are followers of Jevoha Witnesses say that Jesus is not God and still call themselves Christians.
I am a Protestant by birth, the family has a history of the Protestants have become Christians and the personal blessing of St. Thomas.
But now I am a Catholic. I believe in Jesus, He is my God, what is the problem
Without Christ there are Christians!

"We are the original church they were all offspring."
Your above statement is incorrect. The Catholic Church did not exist until 300 years after Jesus died, was buried and resurrected to establish His Church.
The Catholic religion is a combination of the old law and new law. The apostles taught Christians to celebrate in the old law. When Jesus rose from the grave established His Church, which was under a new law. The Jews who had converted to Christianity insisted that Christians should be circumcised. In other words, they tried to force Christians to continue to practice the parts of the old law. The Catholic Church is doing the same today. That's where the Catholic religion originated from (the Jews who taught that Christians must be circumcised). The Jews took another three hundred years is really a religion which took place in both the old and the new law. You have to understand that change takes time.
Some parts of the Catholic religion that patterns itself after the former Act are: candles, "holy water", the priests, to name a few. None of those things that were part of the service of worship under the Law of the New Testament.
Everything is in the Bible, if you want the attention to study the issue. His statement was very arrogant. The law of God teaches Christians to be kind, loving and patient with others. His statement was nothing …

I'm born again Christian Gnostic Orthodox Catholic, and in fact, the Orthodox Church is the original. Catholicism was diverted in the 11th century during the schism. Veneration of Mary is another way to worship the sacred feminine, which I appreciate in Catholicism.
As for the Bible, however, the Septuagint was written in Greek, and had the Apocrypha. Any Jew will tell you the original Old Testament was written in Greek and do not have the Apocrypha in it. They are a complement to a manuscript Catholic Jew.

I think the Catholic church was the first church and still is for all .. I'm Catholic and I think my church is right .. the Catholic Church, select the New Testament .. in the early centuries .. Protestants do not talk about their stories .. they called themselves Christians .. but I'm not saying Adventist and Pentecostal .. or something .. they dont follow the Bible when they judge that the Catholic Church
