What extra-biblical doctrines and traditions did early Christian leaders teach? How do we evaluate these teachings? Of course, Roman Catholicism (Romanism) has always given a great deal of authority to these writings. Accordingly, in the course of our study we provide a biblical critique of several of their foundational beliefs, including: - The early Church leaders taught some weird stuff that cannot be backed by Scripture. - Romanism has a history of teaching and practicing extra-biblical or unbiblical "traditions" like indulgences, celibacy of the priesthood, and restricting the reading of Scripture, all with horrible consequences. - The authority claimed by the Papacy has no biblical support, was denounced by several early Church Fathers, and has been rightly questioned because of its historical errors, ineffectiveness, and immorality. - The Roman doctrines concerning Mary are unbiblical and result in the idolatrous worship and deification of a good woman.
