Throughout their long and plagued history, Catholic clerics have consciously, intentionally, calculatingly, and knowingly misled the laity for personal gain. The facts, their history, and their preposterous claims speak for themselves. Not only have they instituted all manner of rites and doctrines that are contrary to Scripture, each corruption can be tied directly to Ba'al, to Babylon, and to Satan himself. Each of the following are alla, the antithesis of Scripture and in opposition to the Word: a hierarchal clergy, popes, cardinals, nuns, monks, and fathers, clerical robes, crowns, and seats of honor, the notion of priestly forgiveness and thus the Catholic confessional, infant baptism and baptismal regeneration, justification by works, indulgences, and purgatory, the Rosary, the Madonna and Child, the reverence shown to Mary, statues and petitions to Mary, the Sacred Heart, crucifixes and especially the Sign of the Cross, holy water and the use of wax candles, reverence for relics, canonizing saints and prayers to and for the dead, the mass and most every aspect of the Eucharist, the teaching that Peter was a pope, that popes are Christ's representatives, and that popes are holy and infallible, the crusades, inquisitions, and the use of torture, Sunday worship, the celebration of Lent, Easter, the Nativity of St. John, the Feast of the Assumption, All Saints Day (a.k.a. Halloween), and Christmas, editing Yahuweh's name out of His Scripture and changing Yahushua's name and title, and worst of all, keeping Yahuweh's Word from the people for one thousand years. Therefore, based upon this evidence and Yahushua's testimony, it is reasonable to conclude that the Catholic clergy represent: "the assembly of the Adversary, Satan, those who profess and maintain that they are Yahudi and are not. As the antithesis and in opposition they deliberately deceive."

Poor Ignatius.

Having to go through that ordeal with a guy waving some sort of wand at him.
