Catholics worship God, Protestants here worship the Bible. Oh, they say they don't worship the bible... but they do. They say things like: God wrote the bible. When that is no where near accurate and has never been the understanding until very recently.
At least half of the Bible is purely Jewish and written in that tradition. There are many authors of the various books, some are even referred to as Prophets.
So, that is at the heart of the issue. Protestants worships the bible, like as if the various authors don't exist and God alone sat down with a pen. Whereas the Catholic Church worships God, and acknowledges the teachings of the 'fathers', who are both the prophets of biblical books, and Various Catholic Church theologians.
Martin Luther never intended the Bible to be worshiped, but there it is today.
And when I say the bible is worshiped, it's hardly ever read.
Just as Jesus is now worshiped as simply a sacrifice to forgive sins, his aspect as 'Rabbi' is ignored by most Protestant Christians because his ethics contradict the financial goals of Rupert Murdoch/Fox News/Republicans and oil companies.
That's the summary of current events.
So yeah, Catholics are evil. Whatever distracts people.

You cannot know God apart from His word the bible. You cannot know Gods word the bible apart from the Holy Spirit. All things point to the glory of God. All things beautify God.
Lonely world you live in.
For the cause of Christ
