You can dress it in gold, incense, cathedrals, and Latin,
but idolatry is still idolatry.
Rome is not the church Jesus built.
It is not a beacon of light.
It is not the guardian of truth.
It is the biggest religious deception the world has ever seen.
“They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator…”
— Romans 1:25
That’s what Catholicism does.
It replaces the living Christ with statues and sacraments.
It replaces the Gospel of grace with rituals, rosaries, and Rome’s authority.
It replaces the Bible as final authority with papal opinions and manmade councils.
It turns the glorious, finished work of Christ into an ongoing, powerless performance.
They claim Peter. But they reject the Rock.
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…”
— 1 Timothy 2:5
Catholicism inserts a thousand mediators.
Mary, “Queen of Heaven”.
Saints with specialties like superheroes.
Priests, popes, bishops, councils.
They’ll say they’re not praying to Mary.
But then they kneel, chant Hail Marys, and call her “co-redemptrix.”
They’ll say they don’t worship statues.
But they kiss the feet of carved images, offer prayers before icons, and process idols through city streets.
“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.”
— 1 John 5:21
Rome says grace, but means works.
The Council of Trent (still binding Catholic doctrine) literally curses the Gospel.
“If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone… let him be anathema.”
Paul says,
“We hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.”
— Romans 3:28
Rome says,
“Faith + sacraments + penance + purgatory.”
Paul says,
“By grace you have been saved through faith — and this is not your own doing.”
— Ephesians 2:8
Only one of them is preaching the Gospel.
Jesus is not re-sacrificed at every Mass.
“For by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.”
— Hebrews 10:14
Catholicism teaches that the Eucharist is the literal, ongoing sacrifice of Christ.
That the priest re-presents Jesus on the altar.
That the wafer becomes God.
But Jesus said,
“It is finished.” — John 19:30
Not “to be continued at 9AM Mass.”
The Catholic Church is not the true church.
The true Church is built on the Gospel, not Peter.
It has one Head, not a pope.
It is filled with the Spirit, not incense.
It is saved by grace, not sacraments.
It exalts Christ alone, not Mary beside Him.
“If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.”
— Galatians 1:9
The Roman Catholic Church stands accursed.
Because it stands against the Gospel.
So why do so many stay?
Because it’s comfortable.
Because it’s cultural.
Because it’s tradition.
Because it looks holy.
Because no one’s told them the truth.
But now you’ve heard it.
There is no excuse.
Come out of the system.
Drop your rosary.
Burn your scapular.
Turn from tradition.
And run to Christ.
“Come out of her, My people, lest you take part in her sins…”
— Revelation 18:4
There is one Mediator. One Savior. One name.
And it’s not Mary.
It’s not the pope.
It’s not Rome.
It’s Jesus.
And He is enough.
