It is not a denomination. There are no other denominations that worship Mary & the Saints or believe pergatory for that matter. They treat the Pope and their priests as God here on earth. Jesus says in the bible no one can come to the Father except by Me, not a priest or pope. It is a religion unto itself. There are no doubt Christians that are Catholic. But just because someone is born into a religion doesn't make them a Christian. Anymore than living in a garage makes one a car. God doesn't have grandchldren.

It seems the Catholic Church has fallen under the same pigeon hole as all
the other Christian groups - it's kind of a denomination. Any group that
claims to follow Christ claims to be Christ-ian.

is not biblical. In the Ten Commandments it clearly says to not put other
gods before Me. Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit only are to be
worshipped. The rest are false gods...
