: Churches? Get it right there was one Church, it remains the one True Church, as for unbiblical doctrines what unbiblical teaching has the Catholic Church ever espoused? 1) The very unbiblical teaching of worshipping Mary and the saints. Why do some people pray to Mary? Don't you realize that Mary was a regular person just like you and me? She needed a Savior as much as we do. She is neither holy or sinless. The Bible clearly states that we all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. It is only by God's grace that we although we all sin, there is a way out-through Jesus our Lord, not Mary. Of course Mary is in heaven, because she had faith in God, but nowhere in the Bible does it say that Christians should worship her or talk to her.If you are going to pray, pray to Jesus. And while we're on the subject, who is the pope anyway? Why are so many people worshipping him and not God?
2)Purgatory. It is nowhere to be found in the Bible. It sounds like something The Church made up.
3)Confession. Why does the Catholic church teach that you must confess your sins to a priest? Who cares if a priest, an earthly person like you and me, forgives you? Wouldn't you rather be forgiven by the Lord? If you sin, by all means confess-to Jesus, not a priest.
4) Celebate clergy. Why are priests not allowed to marry or have kids?
And what are nuns anyway?

McSpotlight: Guys, this is getting dangerously close to something that really doesn't belong here; there are any number of places on the web where you can debate born-again vs. Catholic; this really isn't one of them, as such debates tend to get very hot very very quickly. Taking it to mail would be a Good Idea.
