My mother who was a devout Catholic yet she was born again went to Israel and on their way to Israel they stopped at the Vatican and what she saw the Vatican caused her to reevaluate her commitment to the Roman Catholic Church and this is about at the same time that I got born again and when she saw the difference in me she left the Catholic church for good and I was so proud of her because she really did not know the Bible at all because they hardly preach on the Bible during mass, and the Catholic Church like you said has brought a lot of criticism upon itself especially with all the pedophilia and sex scandals and money scandals just to name a few things, and most of what we see during mass is nowhere to be found in the New Testament especially when it comes to Ephesians 4:11: 12 to 13 and 1st Corinthians 12:28 regarding Church government which has no mention whatsoever of popes or priests or nuns or Mass Etc.
