The trinity, the whole system of popes and bishops.
Where does it say in the scripture that jesus, god and the spirit are three separate beings?
Also where does it tell us that only the pope can dictate the church.
It is all roman catholic perversion.
They are the same ones who made the jesuits, islam and work along with the false jews.
Also your pope francis straight up committed heresy of the highest order.
Matthew 23:9 - And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Matthew 16:18-19 - And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

1 Timothy 2:5 - For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Jeremiah 23:11 - For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 22:22 - And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
The trinity is in the Bible, it consist of three persons that subsist one being. Bishops are in the Bible
1 Timothy 3:1-2 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Christ rules the Church and the Pope is the vicar of Christ. Jesus gave Peter the authority to bind and unbind.
Isaiah 22:21-22 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. And the KEY of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall OPEN, and none shall SHUT; and he shall SHUT, and none shall OPEN.
Mathew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and WHATSOEVER thou shalt BIND on earth shall be BOUND in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE on earth shall be LOOSED in heaven.
The writings of the early fathers in the second century confirm Peter was first among equals. If you read the Bible, you'll see in the book of Acts Peter clearly has strong authority over others, even if he himself is equal.
The protestant interpretation of "call no man father" is ridiculous, it would mean you aren't allowed to call your dad father, and it would make the apostle Paul a heretic
1Timothy 1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
2 Timothy 1:2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
It would also mean God is undecided
Genesis 45:8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he HATH MADE ME A FATHER to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
When Jesus said "Call no man Father" he meant it in the context of worship. Scripture doesn't contradict scripture. Ever heard of "honour thy father and mother" ?
Catholics believe Jesus is the only way to salvation, I am not sure why you mention 2 Timothy 2:5 there. Asking people to pray for you isn't a sin, we are told to ask others to pray for us. If I ask you to pray for me, does that mean I believe you are my only way to salvation? Of course not.
Here's a nice verse that debunks protestantism
2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
Protestantism never removed the papacy, it just made every man his own pope. Reminder, I used to be extremely anti-catholic, I made the same talking points you did, I was a hardcore denlingerite. Time to wake up!
1 Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
