Nope. Thousands. They're as diverse as the cultures of the world. They all have a different view of God and bring their own perspectives of His Truth. The RCC is empty, dead and profoundly empty of God's Presence. Ichabod is written over the Vatican, in HUGE bold red letters.

I was being facetious. I attend several different churches, none of which is Catholic. I do know several spirit-filled priests, as well as nuns, though they are few and far between.
why don't you tell us what the denominations are?
WORSHIP MEN(TO HONOUR TO HOLD IN HIGH ESTEEM)
Rev 3:9
9 "Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie-- indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
Luke 14:8-11
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
(KJV)
Mark 12:38-39
38 Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces,
39 "the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,

Well, if you are too lazy to type a reply or cut and paste, I am not interested.
Lazy people do not read God's word.
God does not teach lazy people.
He has plenty of people who want to know and are searching for answers, people who gave up on religion, who now seeking truth.

2. so how come the pope and the bishops don't dress like that?

"Selling" indulgences has never been a doctrine of the Catholic Church. Rather, it was an abuse of indulgences committed by some ecclesial leaders during the late Renaissance Period, and was corrected at that time. Trying to use it as an argument against Catholicism today is to engage in a glaring historical anachronism. Try again.
See this.
Merely a Straw Man Fallacy on your part, since no Catholic adores a wafer. Rather, we adore the manifest presence of Jesus Christ which has replaced the host. Try again.

You're confusing the fallible opinions (traditions) taught to you by your chosen man-made non-Catholic sect with "truths from Scripture." Big difference there.

The assumptions and opinions that you have derived from your preferred recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic sect are noted.

Already answered (Post #8). Now you're trolling.
your post #8
if you like, i'll pull it to pieces :idunno:
then one might expect the pope and the bishops to wear a long tunic with a belt around it
nice attempting at derailing what was offered as a simple question
why would you think I would care what professors at oxford wear?
again, nice attempt to dodge and turn this back on me
did i say it was "weird"?
nope - that was you bringing it up
and that is weird
if it's irrelevant, why are you bringing it up?
it wasn't a complaint, it was a simple question
no, it isn't
an ad hominem fallacy would be me responding that your "argument" is flawed because you are a retard
and i haven't done that
although, this is a bit retarded - i wasn't making an "argument", i was asking a question
and i wasn't whining
cherrios and frootloops to you too :wave2:

No need to waste your time, since---all your hand-waving protestations aside---its content stands precisely as posted, a fact that you prove unequivocally every time you complain about what people wear.
You're still trolling.
