Also, adventists that want to bash Catholicism should tune into the radio program Catholic Answers on Eternal Word Television Network, visit the Catholic Answers website and read some of their books because most of them are former evangelical protestants (many of them pastors) who converted to be Catholics, and will pretty easily rebut all of your claims, and will do so using Bible verses. I’m not saying they’re 100% right about 100% of things, but the Bible doesn’t actually back up the majority of the anti-Catholic claims that many Adventists and evangelicals make. And the Bible often says the opposite of the anti-Catholic claims.

Furthermore, if you go to a Catholic Mass, it is generally much more focused on the Bible than most Adventist services I’ve been to, and most other evangelical services I’ve gone to. At every Mass there are 3 readings from the Bible, the sermon/homily is focused on those readings and most of the prayers come from the Bible. The songs at a Mass are at least as focused on the Bible as evangelical songs, which tend to be more modern and influenced by our modern world.

The majority of Catholic sermons are more focused on the Bible and less on the priest’s own views and thinking, while in my experience, Adventist and evangelical ministers/preachers in their sermons tend to spend more time on their own views, thinking, theories and ideas than Catholic priests do. I will say the evangelical sermons tend to be more engaging, gripping and passionate … but those 3 things are DIFFERENT than being more oriented towards the Bible. That said, a Catholic Mass is much less focused on and dependent on the abilities of the priest compared to how much evangelical services tend to focus on and depend on the preacher. So it doesn’t matter as much if a priest isn’t able to be give a gripping sermon.
