                              What Roman Catholic has added into the Bible                                                                                                                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

What are those invented dogmas and traditions? Are they true or not 

true? Have they come up as cardinal Ratzinger himself said, after a long 

time of maturity and reflection, that is to say, they were not original truth, 

but were made up? The years which elapsed confirm that. Where is the 

truth that needs to be found? For sure it is only in God’s Word and 

nowhere else. A Bible believing Christian belonging to the Church of the 

living God is “... built upon the foundation ofthe apostles and prophets, 

Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” (Eph. 2: 20). Nothing 

which the popes have invented in the course ofyears agrees with the Bible 

and, therefore, is not apostolic. Why did Peter, James, John and Paul not 

care about Mary, at that time when everything was   so fresh? 

The apostle John addressed a very important message to the true 

believers which is valid for ever: “I have not written unto you because ye 

know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is ofthe truth.” 

(I Jn 2: 21). Not one of the proclaimed dogmas originates from the Word 

of truth. They all sprang up from a different source.

Now the approximate year is given in which certain things were 

invented and which were not in existence in the early Christianity: 

 

310     The Sign of the cross began.

 320     Wax candles were introduced. 

375     The veneration of angels and dead saints began. 

394     The worship of Mary was invented. 

500     Priests began to dress differently from the people. 

600     The Latin language for prayer and worship in churches was im 

           posed by Gregory I; prayers were directed to Mary or to dead 

           saints. 

650     Feast in honour of the Virgin Mary began. 

709     Kissing of the Pope’s feet began. 

750     The temporal power of the Pope was invented. 

788     Adoration of Mary and dead Saints began; 

           Worship of the Cross, of images and relics was invented. 

850     Holy water, mixed with a pinch ofsalt and blessed by the priest with bell book and candle was                 invented. 

890      Veneration of St. Joseph, the husband of Mary, began. 

965      Baptism of bells was instituted. 

995      Canonisation of dead Saints was first invented by Pope John V. 

998      Fasting on Fridays and during Lent were imposed. 

1079    The celibacy of the priesthood was decreed. 

1090    The Rosary was introduced. 

1100    The Mass was developed gradually as a sacrifice, and attendance 

            was  made obligatory. 

1184    The inquisition of heretics was instituted. 

1190    The sale of indulgences began. 

1200    The wafer was substituted for bread in the Lord’s Supper. 

1215    The dogma ofTransubstantiation was invented and the confession 

            of sins  to the priest at least once a year was forced. 

1220    Adoration of the wafer, (host), was invented. 

1227    The Hand Bell the priest uses at the Mass as a signal to the people 

            that the wafer is soon to be changed into the body of Christ was 

             introduced. 

1229     The Bible was forbidden to laymen. 

1245     Cardinals were ordered to wear red hats. 

1264     The Feast of Corpus Christ was introduced. 

1414     The cup was forbidden to the people by instituting the communion 

             of one kind. 

1439     The Doctrine of Purgatory was proclaimed. 

1478     The Inquisition was introduced into Spain. 

1545     Tradition was declared as of equal authority with the Bible. 

1546     The Apocryphal Books were added to the Bible. 

1854     The Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary was invented 

1870      Doctrine of Pope’s Infallibility was invented.

1925     The Personal Corporal Presence of the Virgin Mary in Heaven was 

              invented. 

1950     The dogma of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was proclaimed. 

              (L. J. King, House of Death . .., pg. 117-122). Every thinking man may ask about the sense of all these inventions 

             which were proclaimed after many years elapsed. The New Testament in 

             itself is perfect and complete. Nobody has a right to add anything to that. 

            “Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: Though it be but a man’s 

covenant, yet ifit be confirmed, no man disannulleth or addeth to it. “(Gal. 

3: 15). If someone declares his last will in a testament, it cannot be 

changed. But with the expressed Will of God, the New Testament, men 

have tried to change it by adding articles of faith which are not in the 

original New Testament. Where is the due respect according to the 

following admonition: “If any man shall add unto these things, God shall 

add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.” (Rev. 22: 18).
