| | ORTHODOXY AND ROMAN CATHOLICISM |
 | | Roman Catholics speak of "Confirmation" and the Orthodox of "Chrismation." "Confirmation" is separated from the Baptism and is performed by the bishop and not the priest; but "Chrismation" is performed with Baptism by a priest who has received "chrism" from the bishop. | | | However, the Orthodox reject the Roman Catholic "dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary," which was defined as "of the faith" by Pope Pius IX, on the 8th of December 1854. | | | Roman Catholicism teaches that human reason can prove that God is; and, even infer that He is eternal, infinite, good, bodiless, almighty, all-knowing, etc. He is "most real being," "true being." Humans are like Him (analogous), but we are imperfect being. |

| | Roman Catholicism |
| | Roman Catholics believe their church to be the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church, possessing all the properties of the one, true church of Christ. | | | Roman Catholicism comprises the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. | | | The faith of the church is understood to be identical with that taught by Christ and his apostles and contained in the Bible and tradition. |

| | Roman Catholic Church, Catholicism |
| | The Roman Catholic church, the largest of the Christian churches, although present in all parts of the world, is identified as Roman because of its historical roots in Rome and because of the importance it attaches to the worldwide ministry of the bishop of Rome, the pope. | | | The Roman Catholic church's prohibition of remarriage after divorce is the strictest of the Christian churches, although the church does admit the possibility of annulments for marriages judged to be invalid. | | | Pre - Vatican II theology taught that the Roman Catholic Church is the only true church of Christ, since it alone has a permanent hierarchy (which is apostolic) and primacy (which is Petrine) to ensure the permanence of the church as Christ instituted it. |

| | ROMAN CATHOLICISM |
| | Roman Catholicism claims to be the original one true church of Jesus Christ, but it is not. | | | Roman Catholic practitioners have been deprived by their church, of the assurance of salvation that God's word promises them, and are prey to the greedy doctrines of the purchase of prayers for their loved ones, after death, to remove them from "purgatory," and of indulgences to reduce their time in purgatory by days, or weeks... | | | Practitioners of modern Roman Catholicism, although among the most genuinely devout and "religous" peoples on earth, in the sincerity of their worship, as they have been taught worship, in their devotion to their religious observances, and in their wholehearted generosity to charitable works, have been left spiritually in the dark for centuries. |

| | Catholicism teach that the Bible doesn't teach that the Bible alone is the basis of faith and morals. | | | Roman Catholic scholars acknowledge that the pope is not infallible in everything he teaches, but only when he speaks ex cathedra. | | | Catholicism insists that Bible AND extrabiblical apostolic traditions are needed. |

| | The Truth About Roman Catholicism |
| | First, Roman Catholicism, although teaching that the Bible is the Word of God, adds the spurious apocryphal books to the Scriptures, and also elevates church tradition and the edicts of popes and councils (the words of men), to the same or an even greater level of authority than the Word of God. | | | Second, Roman Catholicism, although teaching that faith in Jesus Christ is necessary for salvation, actually denies the truth of the Gospel by adding sacraments, good works, and purgatory as additional requirements for forgiveness of sin and for eternal life. | | | The Roman Catholic Church was infiltrated by the false teachings and unscriptural practices of the Charismatic Movement in the early 1960's. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Roman Catholic |
| | The term "Romish Catholic" or "Roman Catholic" undoubtedly originated with the Protestant divines who shared this feeling and who were unwilling to concede the name Catholic to their opponents without qualification. | | | Even the form "the Cardinal Archbishop and Bishops of the Catholic and Roman Church in England" was not approved. | | | It is in fact a prevalent conception among Anglicans to regard the whole Catholic Church as made up of three principal branches, the Roman Catholic, the Anglo-Catholic and the Greek Catholic. |

| | Roman Catholicism - Christian or Pagan? |
| | In actuality, Roman Catholicism places itself above Scripture; i.e., it teaches that the Roman Catholic Church produced the Bible and that the pope is Christ's vicar on earth. | | | Catholicism teaches that Christ is God, but they, nevertheless, do not believe that Christ's death paid the full penalty for sin; i.e., they believe that those who qualify for heaven must still spend time in purgatory to atone for sin (cf. | | | The Catholic Church gives honor and adoration to Mary that the Scriptures do not; she is readily referred to as "holy," the "Mother of God," and has been dubbed the "Co-Redemptrix," thereby making her an object of idolatrous worship (e.g., the rosary has ten prayers to Mary for each two directed to God). |

| | "Considering Roman Catholicism" 1 John 4:1-3 January 4, 1998 |
| | The Roman Catholic church seems to convey to them a timelessness appropriate to the eternal truth of the gospel in contradistinction to the ephemeral faddishness of American evangelicalism. | | | I suppose most of us know Roman Catholic folk we believe are real Christians, that is, people who have a living trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior and who see their lives as a matter of walking with that same Jesus Christ, present through his Holy Spirit. | | | G. Chesterton explained his embrace of Catholicism by saying he sought a church that would free him from the degrading slavery of being a child of his time. |

| | After the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 78 A.D., the Christian Church of Jerusalem temporarily ceased to exist, and the Roman congregation and the administration of its bishops advanced to the forefront. | | | First, the Roman church changed the Creed of Faith, adding the words "and the Son" after the words indicating that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father. | | | The arrogant claims to supremacy of the bishop of Rome, along with the false teaching that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son, brought division between the Orthodox Churches of the East and the western Roman Church. |

He says that "the church I pastor is loaded with people who were saved out of the Catholic church. | | | I was Evangelical in my theology (and still am) but I soon realized that—as distasteful as the notion is to some Protestants—prior to the Reformation, if we were Christians, we were members of the Catholic Church (unless of course we lived in the East and were Orthodox). | | | Of course, hundreds, if not thousands, of those who have come to know Christ through Grace to You and Grace Community Church are former Roman Catholics, so one has to wonder at the relevance of Keating's argument at that point. |
