Off the top of my head, my number one difficulty with Catholic teachings is The belief that all should submit to the Roman Pontiff.

For a complete list of impossible to believe Catholic doctrines, please listen to this powerful sermon by Dr. John MacArthur: The Pope and the Papacy

The mass a rescraficing of Christ I am told its not, but your Catechism says it is.
Infused rightousness vs imputed (works in order to be saved)
Muslims being excepted as part of the church when they worship a differnt God
The attack on the doctrine of Justification by faith.
The Pope being reffred to as the Vicar of Christ and upsurping the role of Christ as the meadiator between God and man.
Mary being a co redemptrix
Worship of Idols and saints and relics
And just the FOUL stench of its man made power structure and being a false religion.
Nothing personal, so dont take it that way, but I would rather give my life for Christ than to conceed to it in anyway.

Actually the kids are correct, they are no more Christain than LDS. Ask any RC if they are born again, and the answer is no or they dont know what that is.
Unless a man be born again he cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven.
They may have a Christ figure but its actually and idol and not the God of the Bible. There Christ is impotent and cant save anyone without the works of the RC

1. I disagree praying to Mary. Mary is not omnipotent, she can not hear millions pray.
2. I disagree Mary is Queen of heaven and have a highest authority after Jesus. Mary is a human and does'n has authority in heaven.
3. Purgatory is not in the bible at all.
4. I am not agree with the doctrine that Muslim and Christian share the same God.

[TD]16. Finally, those who have not yet received the Gospel are related to the People of God in various ways.[SUP]18 [/SUP]There is, first, that people to whom the covenants and promises were made, and from whom Christ was born according to the flesh (cf. Rom. 9:4*-5): in view of the divine choice, they are a people most dear for the sake of the fathers, for the gifts of God are without repentance (cf. Rom. 11:28-*29). But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Moslems: these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.

I believe between Catholic and protestant is like Hindu and Buddha, a totally 2 different religion. Is not share and adore the same God.
They have different bible, different foundation.
Bible is foundation, if the foundation different than the building above the foundation must be different.
At the bottom there's a complicity! They said nothing as long as they keep attending their church meetings.
A couple of years ago, i decided to attend a Catholic church because my mate was a Catholic and she needed to partake the X-mas mass she was used to attend each december. I sit side by side with her and, by the way, Ernesto, the Catholic priest at the town I live, is very nice and we have shared things outside his congregation.
He preached on X-mas... His message was ok, easi to understand, and I laughed at several of his jokes... At the end he brough an image of a child (their "god" child) and kissed its feet and also invited the congregation to touch "him" or to kiss "him" if the wanted and, when I saw THE IDOLATRY (because many came to the man-made statue) I felt too guilty of being their just for the love I had for a Catholic woman. These lift the image (as long as Ernesto took care it never went too far from his hands) (and the control og his reach). Kids and ladies came to kiss the image, on its feet or cheeks...
I said to mayself: "Why am I here?". I looked towards Mónica and she knew how I felt (shocked and embarrased).
When we came home I spoke it was the last time I'll be present to look after her religious needs. I wish I could cry towards those who were present, even to Ernesto, the priest, because verbally he had said several things (that I believed) but i the practice, he is an idolater and, also, made a dozen of people be like hi is.
On the other side, as I know Venezuela "religions", these are syncretist. They think that once they have done such acts of worships or venerations (just when they persignated) (cuando se cruzan las manos en señal de la cruz) they have done enough to be forgiven and GOD should do everything they needed to be done, for their being present in an assembly.
I like to add also that those images are seen like an amulet, like "protectors" of their houses. The more the had, the more they think holy "soldiers" and angels take care of their life.
When I lived in Colombia I laughed at myself several times. Each time I entered in houses in Sincelejos or in Santiago de Tolú (Dpto Sucre) I saw big Bibles opened in Psalm 91 or in others (these were also amulets to protect from satan or evil spirits).
It is confusing when you have grown inside a system of beliefs like these and, several of my Catholics friends, additionally to the Bible, the have the Catecismo and several "revelations" "Jesus" is sending through an unknown woman who lives to write "all" he is telling her to write to Catholics nowadays. luz de maria
They have too many things to believe that I have wondered: "How they've believe?". One of the best friends is trying to re-convert me into Catholism and, each time I can, I listen to what he says but, I wish he were free from such idolatric bondage he chose to keep, as his cross (as he said).

There is no misunderstandings between Catholics and True Christians! The Catholics do know that what they are teaching is False! And we True Christians do know the Catholics are teaching False doctrines!
There is no misunderstandings, the Catholics are out to destroy the True Church so they can rule the World again like it was 1000 years ago! Did you know a Catholic does not have to be a Born Again Christian nor do they have to teach what the Scriptures say to be a Pope? Anyone can be a Pope of the Catholic Church! Even Satan can be a Pope! It makes no difference to the Catholics.
Read the History of the Popes and you will see how many of them were not True Christians and many never accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior! But yet they ran the Catholic Church and turned their Traditions into False Doctrines to deceive the elect into following Mary and Satan!
