Catholics Aren't Christians?

[abaris]

I think catholics are Christians who adhere to many of the old Roman pagan views and rituals. Come on, processionals with dudes in gold-laced gowns waving incense? It's pretty clear that the Jesus of the New Testament didn't have this in mind.

Of course the see themselves in that kind of tradition. The pope even carries the latin title of pontifex maximus which was inherent to the Caesars of old.
