More questions for Roman Catholics

It is true that the New Testament was approved at the Roman Catholic
Council of Hippo in North Africa in 393 AD.

But is the Bible a Catholic book? No. Nowhere in the Canon of

Scripture does it mention the Roman Catholic Church.

Further, there is no mention of a pope, a cardinal, an archbishop, a

parish priest, a nun, or a member of any other Catholic order.

If the Bible is a Roman Catholic book, why is auricular confession,

indulgences, prayers to the saints, adoration of Mary, veneration of relics
and images, and many other rites and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic
Church, left out of it?

If the Bible is a Roman Catholic book, how can Roman Catholics

account for the passage, "A bishop then, must be blameless, married but
once, reserved, prudent, of good conduct, hospitable, a teacher...He should
rule well his own household, keeping his children under control and
perfectly respectful. For if a man cannot rule his own household, how is he
to take care of the church of God?" (1 Tim. 3:2, 4-5).

The Roman Catholic Church does not allow a bishop to marry, while
the Bible says "he must be married." Furthermore, if the Bible is a Catholic
book, why did they write the Bible as it is, and feel the necessity of putting
footnotes at the bottom of the page in effort to keep their subjects from
believing what is in the text?

The following list gives a summation of what we have been trying to

emphasize. If the Bible is a Catholic book,

1. Why does it condemn clerical dress? (Matt. 23:5-6).

pouring? (Col. 2:12).

(Matt. 23:9).

the apostle Peter? (1 Cor. 3:11).

many? (1 Tim. 2:5).
11. Why does it teach that a bishop must be a married man? (1
Tim. 3:2, 4-5).

12. Why is it opposed to the primacy of Peter? (Luke 22:24-27).

13. Why does it oppose the idea of purgatory? (Luke 16:26).
