Why Catholicism is such a controversy - Draft

St John did say "... There were many other things (miracles) that Lord Jesus did that were not recorded here, ..."

The Earliest Christian Church teaching consisted of these sources:
1. Holy Bible
2. Early Church Tradition
3. Magisterium

Since Martin Luther, the last 2 were removed by the protestants.

Fortunately, Roman Catholic is one of 2 that still preserves the 3 early church teachings. The reason why the Magisterium is still carried forward, is that the Catholics are not allowed to quote and interpret bible just like that, there must be contexts of the verses taken into account. This is why the magisterium holds a very important role.

For example: When the bible says "do not make and worship statues of any form or shape," that was in the context when the Jews were starving and began worshiping a golden cow, claiming that there is other God like this, than the Moses's God. Moses then went to make this rule.

The Catholic magisterium still approves of statues of Mother Mary (which has been carried forward by the pearly church tradition) and Jesus. The statues are meant to remind people of their affection to Jesus, Mary, and the holy saints.

Just as the early Christian Church tradition says that Veronica's veil wiped Jesus' face, the magisterium approves of the tradition that the mother of God, Mother Mary, is crowned in Heaven, and there is no doubt that she is the woman crowned with stars in the Revelation chapter, which also represents the Roman Catholic Church as her Church.

This is why there is a huge gap between Protestanism and Catholicism.
