THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH: 1. replaces prayer to God with prayer to Mary and saints. 2. renders inadequate the sacrifice of Christ, by the notion of purgatory. 3. replaces intercession by Christ with intercession by Mary. 4. replaces the Lords Supper as a simple memorial, with transubstantiation given only by priests. 5. replaces the sainthood of all Christians, with the notion of a special group of men and women achieving a higher level of spirituality (see gnostic pneumatics). 6. replaces biblical immersion into Christ, with infant pouring. 7. replaces the plurality of elders/bishops in each Christian community, with a hierarchy led by the Pope. 8. replaces the innocence of infants, with the idea of inherited sin from Adam. 9. replaces the body of apostolic writing with pronouncements from the Magisterium. 10. replaces married leadership with celibate leadership.
