Are you curious what the basic differences are between Protestant and Catholic teachings? Longtime Bible teacher Tony Dupree grew up a dedicated Roman Catholic, became more nominal in adulthood, and resolved to get serious about his Catholic faith by studying the Scriptures.

As I started to read the New Testament for the first time, I was, like most Catholics, familiar with the Gospels concerning the life of Christ. However, the rest of the New Testament was for the most part a mystery to me. To my pleasant surprise, I soon discovered that the book of Acts, along with the letters of Paul, Peter, John, and the other New Testament writers, described in much detail the first forty to fifty years of the early apostolic church. This was exactly what I was looking for: scriptural proof of Catholic doctrine.
As I began to read, I became engulfed in God’s Word. I began to understand Jesus’ words when he said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). As I searched the scriptures, I focused on the Catholic doctrines and practices which were different from most Protestant denominations: the Mass, priesthood, Eucharist, Mary, prayers to saints, Papacy, Confession, baptism, Bible study, and tradition. I would like to share with you what I discovered the Bible teaches concerning these major Catholic doctrines and practices. . . .
