Hard Truths for Roman Catholic Theology

The more I dig into Roman Catholic theology, the more errors, heresy, blasphemy, and idolatry I discover.

The following are some hard truths that I hope Roman Catholics will hear and if God wills it, they will sincerely repent, believe the gospel, and be truly born again.

Note: this list is not exhaustive. These are the 30 truths that came to me as I was writing them out extemporaneously.

  1. The Catholic pope is not the vicar of Christ.
  2. There is no such office as the pope in Scripture.
  3. The pope is a type of anti-Christ.
  4. The pope is not infallible when he speaks on faith and morals.
  5. Mary was not immaculate (sinless). Christ alone was sinless.
  6. Mary was not ever a virgin. Scripture is clear that Joseph and Mary had sex after Jesus was born. Scripture further explicitly mentions several brothers and sisters of Jesus.
  7. Mary was not assumed into Heaven. She is buried under a church in Jerusalem.
  8. The Catholic priest has no power to forgive sins. We are to confess our sins directly to God the Father in Jesus’ Name. There is no need for a human intermediary.
  9. The so-called Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is false. The communion gifts are spiritual food, not carnal.
  10. The Catholic magisterium is not infallible.
  11. Scripture doesn’t refer to only a certain small number of believers as Saints. It says all believers in Christ are saints. There is no use in giving this label to individual believers.
  12. Praying to believers who have died is necromancy and is forbidden by Scripture. Thus praying to a special class of so-called Saints is forbidden.
  13. The so-called Catholic Saints cannot hear your prayers.
  14. Mary cannot hear your prayers.
  15. Mary would need divine attributes to simultaneously hear and understand millions of prayers in different languages coming into her.
  16. There is no such place as purgatory. When we die we are either present with the Lord Jesus or in torment in Hell.
  17. Contrary to Catholic teaching, salvation is strictly monergistic, not synergistic.
  18. Salvation cannot be lost if one is regenerated.
  19. Catholic soteriology is false.
  20. The Catholic church teaches works righteousness which is false.
  21. The sacramental model is false.
  22. The Catholic church teaches semi-Pelagianism.
  23. All apparitions of Mary are false.
  24. All of the 5 Solas are absolutely true and biblical.
  25. All of the 5 points of Calvinism are absolutely true and biblical.
  26. There is no such thing as apostolic succession. The power to bind and loose was available only to the Apostles.
  27. Infant baptism is false. There is not a single explicit and unambiguous instance of infant baptism in all of Scripture.
  28. Worshiping the so-called Saints (veneration) is sinful.
  29. Worshiping Mary (also known as hyperdulia) is sinful.
  30. Roman Catholics putting their man-made traditions, as well as the magisterium, on the same level of authority as Scripture is desperately wicked and blasphemous.
