Have you given serious thought to the whole concept of the Catholic Mass? In essence it is a human priest (not authorized by God) who literally RE-SACRIFICES Christ daily on an altar.
FROM THE NEW ADVENT CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA
In truth, the Eucharist performs at once two functions: that of a sacrament and that of a sacrifice. Though the inseparableness of the two is most clearly seen in the fact that the consecrating sacrificial powers of the priest coincide, and consequently that the sacrament is produced only in and through the Mass, the real difference between them is shown in that the sacrament is intended privately for the sanctification of the soul, whereas the sacrifice serves primarily to glorify God by adoration, thanksgiving, prayer, and expiation. The recipient of the one is God, who receives the sacrifice of His only-begotten Son; of the other, man, who receives the sacrament for his own good.
Furthermore, the unbloody Sacrifice of the Eucharistic Christ is in its nature a transient action, while the Sacrament of the Altar continues as something permanent after the sacrifice, and can even be preserved in monstrance and ciborium. Finally, this difference also deserves mention: communion under one form only is the reception of the whole sacrament, whereas, without the use of the two forms of bread and wine (the symbolic separation of the Body and Blood), the mystical slaying of the victim, and therefore the Sacrifice of the Mass, does not take place.
The Bible clearly states that Christ made ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOREVER AND THAT HE IS BOTH THE HIGH PRIEST AND THE SACRIFICE. So the Mass is a mockery of the finished work of Christ.

Matthew 7:21 King James Version (KJV)
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
There are people Honestly call God and this people follow the teaching of the Lotd.
There are people call Jesus Lord but not honest. Catholic call Jesus Lord, but teach Allah, islam God is Abraham God.
Real Abraham God teach us Jesus is God
Islam God teach Jesus not God
If Allah = Christian God, than God is Lie either to Christian or muslim

Obviously every true church has it's own shortfalls and or issues, but lest we forget....there is ONE gospel that has the power to save a man or woman.....and what the Catholic church peddles falls way short of biblical........I am not saying that all Catholics are lost....I am saying that Catholic dogma is false and not of GOD.........and it is NOT wrong or false to JUDGE the dogmas or doctrines proclaimed by so called churches......this has NOTHING to do with your premise above concerning logs and splinters........
An example of that would be if I was a drunk and I condemned you for drinking a glass of wine

I feel for you. But it is the actions of our walk and the faith with which we walked
it that matter. Many organisations have errors, heresies, mistakes. We can minister
despite these, and walk in the Spirit through them.
In truth if your brother was born again and served Christ with a humble heart, Amen.
Unfortunately many have gone through catholicism and never known Jesus.
It is not our devotion that determines our walk, but rather repentance and forgiveness
through the cross. There are many who have met Jesus and could simply not stay in
the RCC because of how it operated as a parallel faith to following Jesus.
It would make me wonder how someone who truly knew love and freedom in Him could
continue in such an organisation. God bless you.

I know longer attend mass but having been to many other denomination's church service I felt the most peace while attending mass. Attending the services of other churches I usually left a little empty inside like something was missing. All Christian denominations have their own particular flaws in their doctrine and practice besides the Catholic Church.

My position would be that there are true believers who are part of false organizations, but are ignorant concerning their teachings.
However, if someone understands what it means to be justified by faith alone, and rejects this, he has forsaken the only hope anyone has for salvation, which is being joined to Jesus and sharing in his righteousness.
Do I think that every believer understands this? No. Do I think any believer understands it, yet continues to teach against it? No.
By the way, ancient Israel rejected Jesus' righteousness and was not spared. Do I think that Roman Catholics who knowingly reject Jesus' righteousness are spared? No.
Maybe your brother didn't understand the Roman Catholic teaching rejecting the righteousness of Christ being imputed to the believer, or maybe he recanted before he died. Who knows? I am hesitant to speculate on the fate of any individual because I don't know what they may have experienced at the last moment of their earthly existence.
However, those who hope in something other than Jesus' righteousness are wrong, and the repercussions of this can be severe. Romans 11 witnesses to this. Even God's chosen nation, Israel, isn't exempt from this only source of righteousness, received through imputation.

Catholic, bible+ tradition+ magister
The very foundation is different how you build same building?

I say catholic believe we share God with muslim, It state in catholic dogma lumen gentium II/16/126
126) But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator. In the first place amongst these there are the Muslims, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind. Nor is God far distant from those who in shadows and images seek the unknown God, for it is He who gives to all men life and breath and all thing
And muslim God say Jesus is not God

I think what this is saying if that Muslims seek to worship the one true God. It isn't saying that they agree with everything the Muslims teach.
It's the same idea as Paul is talking about to the Athenians
Acts 17: 23. For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
It doesn't mean that everything the Athenians thought about this unknown God was true.
Acts 17: 28. 'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'

My sincere condolences to you and your family sir.
My Dad, a Roman Catholic his whole life, like your brother, passed away about 4 months after your brother Mr. Dolan did.
We don't know if they were saved in the last hour by trusting solely in Jesus Christ and His Word, so we can't say with certainty whether they ended up in hell, or made it to paradise upon their demise. We can only hope they were granted repentance in those moments.
So many doctrinal errors in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that stand in direct opposition of Biblical truth, the Holy Scriptures, and the Great and All Holy God we serve.
Again, my sincere condolences to you and your family sir.
