Not sure I agree they're Christians. Their entire higherarchy demonstrates a lack of understanding of Jesus' death and resurrection. The curtain that lead to the Holy of Holies tore in half the moment Jesus died because at that moment the old covenant ended and we didn't need to go through a priest to speak directly to God. Catholics, having failed to understand that, have missed the entire point and resemble more the ancient Jewish religion than Christianity. Confused idolitors like the Hebrews post Egypt. Muh Mary
