oh fun! let me respond quickly to just a few, as I am supposed to be working :)
calling priests father
I think the actual bible reference here is "call no man father". If you read the full context of the scripture, you can undoubtedly realize that Jesus is talking about our heavenly father, and this can be understood as "call no man God". There are other references to Paul calling others as his (spiritual) children, and therefore implying that he is their spiritual father.
sundays as a holyday
i find this one odd, as only a few protestants hold this view. here is a good treatise on that ==> LINK (catholic.com) Lots of good historical references!
easter, christmas
again, another odd one. how is it un-biblical to celebrate the birth or resurrection of Christ? there are plenty of references to days considered holy in the bible (hannukah, passover, etc.), so how can it be un-biblical to celebrate events in Jesus life?
rosary
how is it un-biblical to pray the gospel? that is what the Rosary is, praying the gospel.
anyway, i need to get back to work. I always enjoy our discussions, Pickled, I think you are truly a good person and I truly respect your deep faith. Take care and God bless....
