SOGFPP,
You must live in a closed environment if you don't know and understand the issues
that chrisianity has with catholocism so let me give ya a little peek:
priests can't marry which violates the command as given by the apostle timothy:
1Ti*3:1
¶ This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1Ti*3:2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1Ti*3:3
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1Ti*3:4
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
1Ti*3:5
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
1Ti*3:12
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
no wonder our children are not safe with some of the priests.
the church says that they can forgive sins in CHRISTS stead but that is not so, we can only forgive those sins that are against us personally as we are directed by the bible
Lu*11:4
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Mt*18:21
¶ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Mt*18:22
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Mt*18:35
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
it is obvious by this next verses the method approved by GOD for asking forgiveness of sin:
Mr*11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mr*11:25
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
and here is the method of pray he wants:
Lu*11:2
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Lu*11:3
Give us day by day our daily bread.
Lu*11:4
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
The church also was involved with the changing of the sabbath from saturday to sunday with no backing by the bible whatsoever and its not denied by them :
The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine

A. The Third Commandment is: Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.

A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.

A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday by the plenitude of that divine power which Jesus Christ bestowed upon her.
Q. What does the Third Commandment command?

and there is literally tons more that can be said on this subject
