This is a Christian (Protestant) site. You'll find very few that support anything at all relating to the Catholic church. Many are quite vocal in their stance Against it.
But still, a simple way to answer that, was there a Vatican in biblical times? Did Jesus ever go to the Vatican? Did Jesus ever speak on the Vatican?

Yes.

And you have to wear the big hat and the dress too.

It would help to have really big rings. But that is optional.

I (and many here) would actually encourage you not to pay attention to the Vatican; they teach things that are contrary to the Bible.

Welcome to CC, by the way. :)

Uh-oh. You mean he turned protestant?

I don't think protestants are allowed to wear the big hat and the dress.

How can you get to heaven without the big hat and the dress?

I was a catholic for the first two decades of my life.. But fortunately a friend gave me a Bible and i read it.. It liberated me from that bondage church ruled by the traditions of men and not the Word of God..

So only pay attention to the catholic church to keep an eye on the evil and deception that it is currently involved in..

Yes.. there is surely saved, sincere believers within the catholic church but as a system of faith overall it is not straight christianity. To get into heaven.. that is purely calling out for eternal salvation from Jesus Christ who is God

Christianity and its many diversions called denominations is a general departure from our having been joined to the Original Flock by the Good Shepherd. After all we are of that other flock He spoke of bringing together with His Original.

This, coupled with the misguided teaching of many of just who killed our Savior is the earliest active antisemitism on record since Jesus, Yeshua,, gave us the Gospel He first gave to Abraham. We have been made sons of Abraham and of the faith of Abraham...this is our way, not a denomination.

although, the Sistine chapel is pretty impressive, for its artwork on the ceiling.

of course not.
neither is smiling, being made to smile, or making others smile.

Maybe, this will assist those who wonder if a Catholic is Christian. Yes, they are.

You get to heaven not by attending a church but by confessing your sins to Jesus and trusting that His shed blood dying on the cross was sufficient., and inviting the Holy Spirit to live inside of you to comfort and guide you in the life-long repentance process. Glad to have you onboard with us. Welcome to Cc.

I agree that it would be problematic at best.

The way we use words in this place baffles me as a Christian. I see a lot of arrogance instead of humility. We are admonished in the scripture not to judge. Do not take the place of God. who are you oh man to judge others? We should try removing the beam in our own eyes before attempting to remove the log in another's eye.

We must stand porter at the door of our Thought to ensure what comes out in words befits the measure of the standard of Christ Jesus. That makes us his followers not just by mouthing it and seating in the seat of the Pharisees.
