IF you deconverted in midlife, can you help?

[Huggy Bear]

Because their doctrine is contrary to Biblical scripture, not to mention they put a man in the place of God...

You are aware that they were the ones who compiled the books into what became the bible, right?

Really? Because as far as the Old testament goes, the King James version has the exact same books as are contained in the Tanakh, the Catholic church has ADDED books to it.

You are aware that all their doctrine is backed up by more than the bible, right? By tradition and by philosophy.

Thats just It, the bible does not back up their doctrine.

Where is purgatory mentioned in the Bible? Or where is it mentioned that people that commit suicide go to hell (If so, it doesn't bode well for Samson)? Or indulgence...

You are aware that the man you claim they put in place of God is, in fact, a representative, a mouthpiece... a priest, right?

Certainly, throughout the ages, some men in such a position have made themselves appear to the commoners as being in the place of God, but that was not the original intent, nor is it today's... it was just the result of a man with power.
With great power, comes great responsibility.
And not all are capable of handling that responsibility, even if their peers are convinced that they will handle it. Mistakes are made, as power corrupts.

But that doesn't mean that the doctrine is not biblical. Have you ever taken the time to read the catechism? To read some annotated version explaining why they do things the way they do?
I was once advised to read something by Leo Trese, The Faith Explained. It explains the catholic side of things quite well, I must say, if you accept the bit about that particular god actually existing.... which you clearly do.

*emphasis mine*
Vicar of Christ literally means 'substitute' of Christ.... who is God in human flesh, any doctrine which make a man equal with Christ is 'anti-Christ".
