that's because you accuse all the wrongdoings of Catholicism to the whole Christianity... the doctrines of Christianity are written in the New Testament of the Bible, and clearly the Catholicism have an entirely different one...
and just to set things straight, here are some:
- infant baptism - baptisms in the time of Jesus and John the Baptist are for adults
- worshipping graven images - this is prohibited both in Old and New Testament
- purgatory/limbo - nowhere found in the Bible, nor mentioned by any apostle
- mass killings (inquisition) - killings are prohibited both in Old and New
- original sin - sins are not inherited according to the Bible
need to say more? using the Catholic doctrine as an excuse to put Christianity in bad light...
to address the post i made about Judaism, it's more on the religion of the Jews according to the Old Testament only... i'm referring to God's character as it was depicted both in the Old and New Testament...

In the torah, you know that document that was given on Sinai and was seen by every Jew and every nation, God is omniscient.

In jewish culture the bar mitszvah is the marker of manhood and it's not linked with our modern concept of adulthood. John very likely baptized people that we would consider kids. The apostles themselves might've been underaged during the life of Jesus. Still not babies, I know, it's just a precision 😛
Purgatory very much only exists because of the doctrine of Original Sin (making it a redundant mention). Original Sin is just a word/rationalization to say that we were cast out from the Garden of Eden because of Adam's actions and not our own, also jewish traditions makes Adam an almost superhuman being, sin explains our diminished grace (of sorts).
The graven images can certainly be seen as a fashion faux-pas.
