For context, I disagree with the Catholic church and I am not Catholic myself. But up until recently, I simply considered it a matter of difference, similar to a church who firmly believes that water baptism is needed for salvation, as opposed to another who simply see it as an outward expression of your conversion and faith. But with the pope's recent changes to fundamental church doctrine lately, I have to ask: Why and How can you still follow a church that is betraying the teachings of Jesus Christ himself? I understand one of the cornerstones of Catholic faith is faith in the church, so much as doctrine spoken by the pope is considered on par with scripture itself. But how can you continue to condone the actions of a MAN (Yes, the pope is human at the end of the day) who speaks "law" which directly contradicts Christ's teachings? Does this not bother you or cause a moment's pause to think "Maybe this isn't the correct church?"

The catholic church does many things and PREACHES many things that are antithetical to what the Bible states. For what it's worth, there are only 2 new testament books that don't warn us about the heresy of false teachers. So, it's obvious that the Lord wants us to be hyper vigilant about this.

This is a large reason why many of us Christians don't consider catholics to be Christians at all.

For this reason, you must read the book for yourself and find an actual church that follows the actual scripture.

Good luck, friend.
