What's Wrong with the Anti-Catholic Pseudo-Christian Cults?
Before you can dare say I cooperate with the anti-Catholic cults, truth is I don't. In fact, they are just as damnable as the Roman Catholic institution. There was a statement that, "They came out of Roman Catholicism yet it didn't come out of them." Partly true. In fact, you have to remember that the Great Whore of Revelation is also a mother. Roman Catholicism is referred to as the "Mother Church" therefore logic will dictate she does have daughters who are off-shoots of Roman Catholicism or two, there are also offshoot parody churches.
Now I would like to list some of the reasons of their non-credibility:
1.) While papal authority is rejected, they however established their own papacy.
Felix Manalo called the Pope the Antichrist but his cult made him their Pope, Joseph Smith was also the first Pope of Mormonism. While not all of them have their own version of the papacy, however some of them have a papacy of their own invention. For example, the INC says that only their council has the right to interpret Scriptures just as much as the Roman Catholic institution is. That really leads to a lot of trouble making their own doctrines that do not fit with the Bible.

2.) They judge right and wrong based on others rather than the Scriptures which they are also guilty of guilt by association movement.
In their case, many of them use the Roman Catholic institution as a parameter for right and wrong rather than basing it on Scripture. For example, the Seventh Day Adventist movement says that Sunday is the mark of the Beast because Roman Catholics worship on Sunday. This also happens because they put Roman Catholicism in front of the Scriptures. I really am even appalled at how some of them have denied the Trinity saying it's wrong because Roman Catholics believe it. Well Roman Catholic missionaries engage in outreach projects for victims of calamity but that does not make the practice wrong!

3.) Taking the Scriptures out of context usually leaving interpretation according to their pastor or council which is no better than Roman Catholicism's claim that only their authorities may interpret it.
I have noticed that the INC of Felix Manalo leaves Scripture interpretation according to its elders, you may also notice that the Ang Dating Daan leaves Scriptural interpretation to its pastor (or better yet their proclaimed messenger and only interpreter) Eliseo Soriano and so on. Besides, I can say they are also obviously their own brand of papacy. Countless times, I have noticed how they condemn the Council of Trent yet they are their own version of the Council of Trent with how they become the final authority instead of the Scripture. Many times, Felix Manalo like the Pope he so condemned had also claimed titles that were Christ's alone like when he claimed to be the one spoken in John 10. That's obviously taking things out of context.

4.) They are quick to accuse their opponents as "secret Jesuit agents" or "Vatican spies" without much proof.
They are really just so paranoid about people who go against them. They are no better than the Roman Catholics who immediately accuse born again Christians as anti-Catholic cultists or in league with the likes of Eli Soriano.

As said, just because a site is anti-Catholic doesn't mean it's Christian. Please use the Bible as the only filter for every false doctrine.
