Marian idolatry, along with all the other idolatry.
Mary was just a woman, who died like every other woman. She is not the "Queen of Heaven", nor does she intercede on behalf of Catholics who venerate her, or any of that other nonsense.

@Mr. Meanest
Because the claim that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ on Earth is refuted by the plainly observable behavior of the Popes throughout history.

I will say this about John Paul II: prior to his Papal status, he was a very brave man in standing against the Soviets in Poland. They could easily have killed him but he openly opposed them anyway.

He also oversaw a "One Holy Roman Apostolic Catholic Church" in which pedophile priests were shuffled and reshuffled throughout the country, and the world. He oversaw a conveyor-belt assembly-line of international pedophilia. Would a person indwelt by the Holy Spirit be able to overlook such all-devouring evil?

Of course Catholics are Christians. Roman Catholicism is literally one of the two major branches of what one could consider "modern" Christianity before the Reformation, resulting from schisms that have occurred over the years where branches have broken away.

The first schism was the Council of Ephesus in 431 that formed the Assyrian Church of The East. Then the Council of Chalcedon in 451 that formed the Oriental Orthodox Church. Next was The Great Schism in the 11th century that created what are the two main branches of the Christian Church at that time, Roman Catholicism & Eastern Orthodox, that are still recognized today.

The reformation of the 16th century lead to the birth of the Protestant Christian denominations as direct descendants from the traditions of the Roman Catholicism denomination. The basic structure of beliefs, the basic structure of worship, the basic symbology, the books of the bible that are considered canon (more or less), even the physical structure of the houses of worship, are all derived from the various aspects of Roman Catholicism.

I can't imagine anyone arguing against that. If one argues that Roman Catholicism isn't Christian then it could be easily argued that the oldest and most established Protestant denominations aren't either since they share so much in common, and that would just be patently retarded.

The Protestant churches being descendants of Roman Catholic Christianity is actual European history, even if for some reason one can't agree with that on a metaphysical, doctrinal, or theological level.

This is all coming from someone who isn't even Catholic. I'm thinking about it from a strict historical and anthropological perspective.
