Catholicism =/= the Bible
Stop trolling and learn the facts. The Catholics have NEVER agreed with the Bible, they just hold it close to them so they can pretend to serve God.

Up until 1546, Catholicism was the ONLY flavour of Christianity available in most of Europe.
Learn the history of your own religion, why don't you?
What is with this whole "Catholics aren't Christians" idea that keeps getting tossed around? Most fundies (and myself, though I'm not a fundie) would define a Christian as "anybody who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and trusts in Him for salvation." Since Catholics believe this, why are they not considered Christians by the fundies?
Mario, please, stop being that ignorant. Can you support it with REAL evidence, not with stupid things that your pastor has told you?
Random guy:
Why Catholics are not christian:
During the middle ages in europe non catholic cultsists
The Catholic Church has published in writing the exact scriptural references on which they base their practices. If someone disagrees, they should state the exact scriptural disagreement.
@random guy: Google "Baptist successionism" to see views of the tiny cult of fundie Baptists who keep trying to redefine "Christian" to mean "only people just like ME".
Now while the Catholic Church didn't 'write' a majority of the Bible, for a very long time they were in charge of it's up keep, as it were. What stories got in, what got edited out and how it was translated and interpreted.
I think for the most part they can claim the Bible as theirs. King James fucked with it a bit when he had the chance but for the most part you're still reading the doctrine of the Roman Cathiolic Church.

Just because they follow their traditions along with the bible doesn't mean they don't follow the bible.
They are doing what they think god wants them to do. Same as you buddy, if you can't figure that out I suggest you go and talk to a few Catholics.
You will find you have much in common with them.
Oh, fuck off you stupid little shitstain.
Catholics are Christians. No, we're not the Bible-thumping Biblical literalist type; but we're Christians nontheless. Trying to argue otherwise makes you look like a fool.
Although granted, Catholics don't *just* use the Bible for our doctrine; we have what's called Tradition (capital T). The thing is, that's the only way early Christianity really got around, and it was all they had. The Gospels weren't written until decades later. So all the early Christians has was what the living Apostles told them.
Riiiight. So that whole Jesus-is-the-son-of-God thing doesn't count, eh?
I suppose you define "Christian" as "only people who agree with me on everything."
You do know there was no Protestantism till the 16th century? So are you saying that Christianity is less than 500 years old? Also, if Catholics aren't Christians, then Islam is the world's largest religion?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
