The Roman Catholic Church

Paper Summary:

This paper gives an overview of the Roman Catholic Church from its belief that Jesus is God to the opinion that only men have the God-given authority to be a priest.

From the Paper:

"The pope has kissed the Koran, has allowed himself to receive a mark from a Shiva priest, has sat in a chair with a satanic cross, and has held a bent cross with a dead Jesus hanging on it (Virgin Mary). Catholics have bowed to a Eucharist wafer, have made it mandatory for priests to practice celibacy, have allowed homosexuals and child molesters to enter priesthood, and have bowed to idols of the Virgin Mary. Recently, the Church has been in the news often due to the many reported cases of priests molesting young boys. Besides the problems of homosexuality, the bible makes it clear that celibacy is not required of priests. "
