GodsGirl ~ I'm sorry but I haven't/can't read all of the posts so far but the one reason that I would have to give - having grown up being forced to go Catholic - is that they go WAY BEYOND what's in the Bible.... The Word of God is Christ's Name and the Word of God is what the Scriptures are or are named/called.
No man should ever go "beyond what is Written" and the RCC has so far gone away and mainly 'added to' what is written and subtracted from 'what is written' that it doesn't resemble 'what is written' in their core beliefs in the slightest AND many of their Ananthemas are against those that Do Believe 'what is written' and/or quoted from the mouth of Jesus, Himself.
We're responsible only to That Book and when we stand before Him after our life is through - The Books that will be opened will contain The Word of God as well as the Book of Life and the Book [so to speak] of our works [what we've done right or wrong]. So says Revelation ...
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
All men that are in a position of teacher, pastor, elder, bishop, or in anyway teaching -- NEEDS to be checked for what they're saying to see if The Word of God agrees with what they're teaching and no man can add or subtract from the Word of God.
That's the rule of thumb from The Bible / The Word of God.
The LORD Bless you & by His Grace Guide you into "all truth", GodsGirl.
In His Love.
