Critically analyzes key Roman Catholic doctrines, including the Mass and transubstantiation, veneration of saints and Mary, the seven sacraments, and purgatory. It contrasts these with biblical passages (e.g., Hebrews 10:18 on Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice, Ephesians 2:8-9 on salvation by faith alone) and historical developments, such as post-Vatican II church declines and evolving dogmas like papal infallibility. Interwoven are personal testimonies from former Catholics, including ex-priests and nuns, who describe crises of faith leading to their departure. The overarching message promotes “Scripture over tradition,” portraying Catholic practices as additions that obscure the gospel’s simplicity and encouraging readers to prioritize the Bible for assured salvation.
