In fact, many of the things that they do are in direct violation of the Bible. How quaint.
I find it quaint that other denominations claim we misuse the Bible, when it's painfully obvious that the New Testament was written and compiled by the Roman Catholic Church itself. Funny how fundamentalists conveniently ignore that fact.

Hmmm, where to start. Oh, yes.
The New Testament essentially abolishes the need for priests. It states that no man should know your personal situations; only God has any business knowing what your sins are.
This also precludes the ludicrous notion that you need to pray to Mary to deliver your message to Jesus, and THEN God finally gets it. Nevermind that many Catholics see Mary as an object of worship, something expressly forbidden. Idolotry.
Christening babies is a horrific practice, as well. The Bible states that baptism should only be performed on an individual that is of the mature understanding of what he is doing. Catholics have this notion of children being damned if they are not baptised. Babies have no perception of what is being done, and so baptising them at that age is ridiculous.
There is more, certainly, but I have to leave for a movie right now. I will return later.
