If you read a good catechism is says nothing about many of the things that Protestants say is true about Catholicism. Mary Worship is forbidden - only God may be worshiped. Faith and Morals comes only from the chair of Saint Peter. Only the sacraments of Baptism, Penance and Extreme Unction can forgive sins in the name of God.
Then you go into the Church, and it's "Our Lady of This" and "Our Lady of That", and they corrupt the teachings of the church. Yes, you can go to confession and do the sacrement of penance, but you can also just go to church nine times on the first Saturday/Friday of the month and be absolved of all sin forever by wearing this brown scrap of cloth. Rubbish! And the Protestants are right to call it paganism! The faith is only the 3 sacraments can forgive sin in the sight of God, that the Holy Ghost only works through the Chair of Saint peter to teach us faith and morals, not the Blessed Virgin!
