As the title says: do catholics worship God or the pope?
Do they allow the pope to come between them and God?
He (anti-Christ) will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. - Daniel 7:25
"
The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in heaven and earth."
Barclay Cap. XXVII, p. 218. Cities Petrus Bertrandus, Pius V.
The official statement of the Vatican above places God beneath the Pope. Traditional definition of this sort of statement and behavior is blaspheme. Without going into this works-based religion of pagan ideology, the Bible standard must first be examined.
Not only do Catholics worship and follow the Pope as god, but so do most protestants. Inasmuch as the anti-Christ changes set times and laws and inasmuch as Catholics follow this SIN, so too do Protestants. They march in lock-step with the anti-Christ RCC system.
We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.” -Rev. Peter Geiermann C.SS.R., The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50
Did Jesus not warn about taking the 2x4 out of our own eye before we accuse a brother of having a toothpick lodged in his eye?
Protestants follow the Vatican in more than this, for most End Times dogma is based upon the RCC doctrine of FUTURISM.
For instance, the RCC is responsible for murdering more Jews and gentile believers (saints) than all other religions combined. It is at heart an anti-Semitic system. This anti-Semitism is reflected chiefly in the doctrine of the Tribulation. Tribulation dogma suggests that a final time of trouble will visit world Jews and that they will be murdered and beheaded until and unless they join the church. This idea has been the vision statement of the RCC since its inception more than fifteen hundred years ago.
Does the reader, any reader here, believe and accept the RCC FUTURIST doctrine of the Tribulation to be true? Any doctrine that honors the murder of innocent Jews as a sort of religious gospel is hate language of the most severe sort. It ought to be rejected by anyone who loves his neighbor - the Jew.
But of course this isn't going to happen. Protestant Christians will follow their RCC dogma even as they enter their houses of worship on Sunday (not Saturday as God's LAW requires) and listen to another sermon lauding the tribulation as God's plan. Modern Christians absolutely refuse to honor anything Jewish, including the Old Testament, because they - like the Pope - are too attached to their anti-Semitic rules and traditions (WHICH WILL NOT SAVE THEM).
That's me, hollering from the choir loft....
