The Word of God vs.
The Roman Catholic Church

(Boldface type below are quotations from Roman Catholic literature. See footnotes for references. All scripture references are from the Confraternity-Douay Version of the Bible. Scripture locations in parenthesis indicate the KJV location.)

“…it was the church that formed the Bible, not the Bible the church.”¹

When Rome wants to attempt to offer credentials that they are the true church, they quote from the scriptures as though the Bible is the authenticating authority. At the same time, the Roman church claims it is the authority that authenticates the Bible! This is cyclical reasoning. (The truth of what authenticates the scriptures will be considered under item 9 later.)

While it is correct that the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ began before the completion of the full text of the scriptures, it is nevertheless imperative that we examine the scriptures in order to gather the identifying marks of the true church. As we will see, the Roman church does not match up with the various identifying marks of the church that Jesus Christ established.
