I used to be a devoted Catholic before becoming a Christian. When I was a Catholic, I used to be very religious and lived by the traditions of the church. I used to honor the pope a lot and follow the teachings of the church.
However, God's Spirit pulled me out away from this Church and made me trust in His Son instead.

Only Jesus Christ can save the world. He is our Lord and Savior, not the church. We need to pray for their souls.
