This is a great piece of explanation, some sentences are very hard to read because they are denying Christ's sacrifice and teachings. I was brought up in a Catholic country and attended a Catholic school where all of the above is practiced. I had to become an adult to read the Bible, at last, and realize in what ignorance and deception the majority of people still live.
I was a Catholic too and then saved by God's grace and lead me to True Way and Life through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. Finally, I got rid of the Catholic mask from my heart and now I am free in my Lord and Saviour ''Jesus Christ''.
Thank you so much for YOUR unconditional Love toward me.
Note this passage from Luke 18:18-19
A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone."
Jesus does NOT say "No one is good--except God and my Mother."
