Do people realize that the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church is the correct one?

I mean, catholics have it better in so many ways. One is marble and stained-glass windows. For the buck I put in the collection plate, I want production value. That means a *real* church, not just some community center that doubles as a basketball court.
Also, catholics have saints – more than 10,000 [...]

Why do The Roman Catholic Church Ask a man to forgive them of there Sins? Why do you pray to Mary a died soul?

Is Confession of Sins a Biblical Practice?
Christians are to confess their sins to God—not men. Notice David’s example in Psalm 51. No man can forgive sins. Neither has any man other than Jesus Christ, our High Priest, been given the office of mediator between mankind and God. The apostle Paul was [...]

Are there any liberal Protestant churches (i.e. gay friendly, not [...]

Do Protestants not see that the infallibility of the Catholic Church is apostolic?

The Church cannot teach error, because it was founded by Christ, God Himself. He sent forth His Apostles with full powers to preach His Gospel. He said. “As the Father has sent me, I also send you” (John 20:21). “I will ask the Father and he will give you another Advocate to dwell with you [...]

Is there a reason for the architectural differences between Catholic churches and Protestant churches?

The Catholic churches I’m referring to have very high ceilings, stained glass windows, lots of artwork depicting Christ and the saints, different colored tiles on the floor that add visual texture, and other various artistic detail in the sanctuary. The Protestant (for example: Baptist, Methodist, Nazarene, Pentecostal, Church of Christ) churches I have visited are [...]

Also I am not trying to say they do nothing for the poor, but do people really need to worship [...]

I am confused.
Thanks!
