Laser11h agoI don't believe Catholicism is Christianity. Not to say God's elect people can't be Catholic, just that the church itself is an apostate, Antichrist institution.
From the original Westminster Confession:
> There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ; nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God. (WCF 25.6)

Daedalus11h agoBro what. Christ himself gave papal authority to Peter and all of the apostles recognized this. Christ is the Godhead of the church, and the Pope is his Vicar, meaning representative.
The Pope is not Christ, and has no divinity, he is only man, he does however represent him through and only through the authority and permission of Christ. All authority and salvation comes from Christ.
How is this not Christian? This is supported in scripture, tradition, and early church history.

William ₿ Travis10h agoJesus did not confer papal authority on Peter. That is a made-up inference drawn for politcal reasons. The status wasn't even formally declared by Rome until 1870 and is garbage. Peter was an apostle who maybe founded the church in Rome but was lesser in so many ways to Paul who did far more to teach the Romans about Christ.

dustygrooves11h agoYou’re saying it’s antichrist because the church doesn’t worship Jesus, but the pope instead? Curious, because I am considering converting next year. Going through the classes later this year.

The Catholic church has been heavily infiltrated but is the only one that performs working exorcisms. It is the only remaining knowledge tank that has this real power
