a Christian is a Christ follower. Catholics follow the decrees of
their pope and that is better described by ' Papist '... a follower of
the pope.
the popes have decreed that the Catholic lay person is too stupid to
understand the Scriptures and therefore their belief system is made up
for them by the pope and his bishops as the RC Catechism declares :
" The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been
entrusted SOLELY to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the
Pope and to the bishops in communion with him. "
that makes them Papists.
furthermore, incorporated into the Catechism is the direction to
worship Mary, the mother of Jesus. this is idolatry. Mary, in the
Catechism, has been given divine attributes. beside idolatry, this is
blasphemy.
it can be said that not only is Catholicism a papist religion but also
an idolatrous religion and a blasphemous religion.
the Catholic is lulled into thinking that he is right with God and has
no need to read his Bible and approach any subject in it on a one to
One basis. he is taught that Catholic ceremonial baptism saved him
and that Mary is there interceding for him all the time as well as his
being surrounded by legions of ' saints ' to protect and guide him in
every endeavor of life.
so he has no desire to search out the things of God even in his own
Bible. this is not Christ following; this is pope following.
the Pharisees hated Jesus. the Pharisees held up Moses as their
spiritual guiding light. the Catholics have the popes as their
spiritual guiding light and actually hate Christians since Christians
do not follow the popes.
Christians point out that to follow the pope is wrong and leads to
death. Catholics don't like their ready made religion tampered with
by bringing it into the light. therefore they hate Christians.
the word ' Christian ' means Christ-follower.

Because you don't understand the History of Christianity and the

of the word Christian. I am sure you don't even know where to find
this word in the Bible. So I give you the benefit of doubt
.
