One must understand the word Catholic mean universal. Which implies universal church. When you do any research concerning the Roman Catholic Church you’ll find false teachings that have entered into it. In reality most denominations today have introduced false teachings. With the Roman Catholic Church down through the years you can see the following:
The facts of history show that gradually, over several hundred years, the early church, and especially the church in Rome added many man-made traditions to the simple truth of Christianity. By the third century, they were baptizing babies and worshipping at the graves of "saints." By the fifth century the Catholic Church accepted Original Sin and Transubstantiation. Eventually, the Catholic Church invented false teachings and practices such as the Immaculate Conception of Mary, Purgatory, indulgences, celibate priests papal infallibility and the like. Some of these are unbiblical traditions, others are false doctrines.
If you read the letters written in Revelation you can see where many denominations have erred.
