To my understanding, the following are the major reasons why people are Protestant rather than Catholic
So my question to Protestants is: can you justify the deviations from Catholic teaching? |

i am a Catholic but i happen to know a lot about the history of our church. i know that there was much corruption in the Catholic church at the time of the Protestant Reformation. They sold indulgences which is what i think someone meant when they said "they sold tickets to heaven." Indulgences were what people paid for so that they didn't have to do pennence. Another thing was that the Popes chose their successors. They would choose their friends instead of someone that would actually make a good Pope.
QUOTE meaning, the pope can stop someone from going to heaven. and the pope has power among the catholics. Catholics do not believe that the Pope can stop someone from going to Heaven. And the Pope does not have "power" over the Catholics, he is in charge of the order of Catholocism. Meaning, he makes new rules for the Church (however they must be approved by the Cardinals) and appoints preists, bishops, ect. |
