With the RCC it's all about deceiving, entrapping it's followers into beleiving that they NEED the RC traditions (sacraments, mass, indulgences, prayer cards, relics, false Jesus said to be in the Eucharist, false Mary) to get them to heaven otherwise they'll go to hell or to an imaginery place called Purgatory, with no chance of getting out and be declared an "anathema". This works out quite well for the POPE, cardinals, bishops and priests so the whole system can live on in Rome in all its finery, where the pompous Pope sits on a throne made literally of GOLD. And that is NO understatement. It's a money making self serving religious system in every sense. Jesus and his disciples were very HUMBLE and even Jesus himself did not place himself on a throne in his time here on earth and he was 100% more deserving of that than any appointed Pope.
