I had a look at some of the claims against the Catholic Church.Still live in the Dark Ages Ironically, some who live in the dark ages are the ones who are most vocal in making these claims.Reject modern ideas of justice and Oppose free speech Catholics were among those who risked imprisonment, speaking against apartheid in South Africa and generally for justice and against injustice.Oppress women This accusation may stem from priests' roles being closed to women. I don't know what is behind the accusation. Killed thousands during the Inquisition I don't know the source of this accusation. I have never found any verifiable sources.Take orders from the pope Speak to Catholics and you will find this to be a fallacy.Reject science The CC may have been slow to recognise some scientific discoveries, but so are some scientists. Many scientists are reported to have rejected Einstein's theories in the beginning - scepticism is part of scientific discovery. The CC has close connections with scientific institutions - for example, my daughter was taught evolution at a Catholic school.Worship statues and the Virgin Mary Showing respect for Mary by bowing in front of a statue of her is not the same as worshipping her.Added books to the Bible Well, of course. The CC church decided which books to include in the Bible from many candidates. Celebrate pagan holidays Rubbish sprouted by anti-CC based on an unfounded obsession with paganism

""I had a look at some of the claims against the Catholic Church."" Hopefully you are getting closer to accepting Christ as your savior. From what I'm aware of, believing Adam/Eve, flood, Moses sea, etc is not a requirement of being saved.
