How have I condemned or as you say "bashed" Catholics?
I point out the fact that there are many traditions that Catholic leaders teach and practice that are grossly unbiblical and now I stand accused of bashing?

I surmise that after you perused this link yesterday (and saw for yourself that there are many things amiss with what the Catholic leaders teach, enjoin, and practice) that you felt like I was bashing the Catholic religion. Roc. anything that I expose is not done with ill will but in an effort to bring awareness. If I saw someone committing a crime and I have access to a phone, you better believe that I am going to notify the proper authorities. It is no different with sounding the alarm about false (meaning that it cannot be substantiated by the Bible) doctrines, practices, and traditions. I don't want anyone to fall victim to any cult. I am a watchman on the walls as it were. I never thought that I would be condemned for my good intentions.
Here is what I wrote yesterday. It is all true.
The Catholic leaders have made the Word of God (the Bible) of no effect through their traditions that they have handed down and many such things that they do. Furthermore they teach as doctrines the commandments of men. They have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof.
Mark 7:13
making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.
Mark 7:7
And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
2 Timothy 3:5
having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
I sincerely apologize if what I have done is wrong, but I don't believe (in my heart of hearts) that exposing Catholic leaders is wrong.

You have a lamentable ignorance of Catholic doctrine if you believe the Catholics have made the Bible of "no effect."
But it isn't just Catholics is it... tell me of Mormons and Orthadox and JW's and...

Well any body exposing themselves is bad. Though I'm not sure the last time I saw a Catholic leader jump out of the shadows in a trench coat and flash.

Protestants bash Catholics, because of their different views and ideas of how the religion should be.
Protestants feel that THEY only know the truth, and many feel the Catholics are of the devil lead by the Antichrist himself...ie, the Pope.......Many get this view from the prophecies of Daniel and the Book of Rev...
But yet again the Catholics did change one of the commandments.......the 4th.......and did away with the one that talked about idols.

Meh, most Christian sects/denominations feel they are the only ones doing it right and all the other ones are leading people astray.
