"You nullify the
Word of God by your traditions that you have handed down"
(Mark 7:13)
Over the years many traditions
have crept into the Roman Catholic Church, nullifying the
Word of God and His saving grace. The following list shows
a steady departure over the years from the pure Gospel of
salvation. Each tradition goes directly against the truth
of Scripture. Roman Catholics are required to believe all
the doctrines of their church.
