The One Minute Apologist (Armstrong) Scripture __ The Bible is the only infallible source of theological truth, The Bible is clear, or "perspicuous," in all its broad teachings about salvation, The Catholic Church added illegitimate books to the Bible __ We can know which books belong in the Bible simply by reading them, Catholics are taught not to read the Bible for themselves The Church __ The notion of bishops and a hierarchical Church is unbiblical, The Church is the invisible sum total of all true believers, Catholicism is a half-pagan religion, blending non-Christian beliefs and practices with the gospel __ Miracles and the supernatural gifts ceased after the death of the Apostles, The Catholic Church believes it can damn people to hell by excommunication, The Church can contain only the holy and saved __ Denominationalism is not condemned in Scripture, The Galileo incident proves that the Catholic Church isn't infallible The Papacy __ The Bible doesn't teach that the Church had one leader, Jesus didn't make Peter the leader of the Apostles, Peter himself is not the "rock" to which Jesus referred __ Paul rebuked Peter, How can a mere man be infallible? The case of Pope Honorius proves that popes are not infallible

The Priesthood __ The Bible says we're all priests, Celibacy for priests is both unnatural and unbiblical, The Catholic Church's male-only priesthood is sexist The Sacraments __ The thief on the cross proves that sacraments are unnecessary, Holy Communion was meant to be a symbolic rite only, The Catholic Mass is an abomination in the sight of God __ The Catholic Mass is a form of idolatry, It is wrong for Catholics not to allow everyone to receive Holy Communion, Baptism is merely a symbolic rite __ Infants cannot be baptized because they're not able to choose Jesus, The Catholic Church teaches that a baby who dies unbaptized will go to hell, Confession to a priest is an unbiblical concept Salvation __ Works play no part whatsoever in salvation, The Catholic system of "merit" is no different from works-salvation, True Christian believers cannot fall away from salvation __ Justification is external and imputed, not internal or "infused", There is no difference between "mortal" and "venial" sins, Original sin is not taught in the Bible __ Eternal hellfire is not taught in the Bible, The Church teaches that all nonCatholics will go to hell, The Bible says nothing of a third state besides heaven and hell, Our sufferings have nothing to do with those of Jesus Theology of God __ God is not three-in-one, as in the irrational doctrine of the Trinity, The Holy Spirit is neither a person nor God, God could not have become a man, Jesus had to grow into the understanding that He was God Mary and the Saints __ Mary was not sinless throughout her whole life, Mary had other children besides Jesus, Calling Mary the "Mother of God" makes her greater than God, Mary could not have been "assumed" into heaven __ Calling Mary the "Mediatrix" of graces makes her equal to Jesus, There's no reason for Christians to pray for the dead, Praying to saints is wrong, "Venerating" the saints through statues or icons is idolatry Other Topics __ Indulgences are a way for Catholics to buy salvation and "indulge" themselves in sin, Formal ritual worship is opposed to a vibrant spiritual life, The Rosary is "vain repetition", Crucifixes prove that Catholics believe Jesus is not yet glorified in heaven __ Catholic "sacramentals" and relics are unbiblical magic, Marriage is not absolutely indissoluble,"Annulments" are just the Catholic rationalization for divorc, The Catholic ban on contraception is an arbitrary, unbiblical restriction Additional Resource: The One Minute Philosopher (Brown)
