Phillipians 2:
[5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
[6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
[7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
[8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him,
ANDD GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME.
[10] That at the NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Note:  AT he name of Jesus, every knee shall bow.  We do not bow and worship men.  We are told in the scriptures not to BOW down before men as, all they are, ARE MEN. We are not revere men as "holy men", as there is no such thing.  We are all sinners in God's sight, no matter how much good we think we do, as in the sight of God it is not good so that we may be justified before Him.

Rev.19
[10] And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Note:  He has the "testimony of Jesus"

Rev. 22:
[8] And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
[9] Then saith he unto me, SEE THOU DO IT NOT: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Even PETER states to Cornelius:
Acts 10:
24] And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
[25] And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
[26] But Peter took him up, saying, STAND UP I MYSELF AM ALSO A MAN
Acts 1:
7] And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
[8] But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
[9] And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
[10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
[11] Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

NOW RECONCILE THIS SCRIPTURE  WITH BOWING TO THE GROUND AND KISSING THE POPE'S TOE.

As a former Roman Catholic I rejoice I no longer participate in such practices.

Mark.

From the reading posts on the web, I see where that in Ireland it has been reported of more sexual abuse
by Roman Catholic priests and nuns in past years.

By their fruits shall ye know tham.  These fruits are rotten to the core, so that means the RCC is false
and a fake religion.  

Sexual abuse is truly more rampent in the RCC than any other demomination.
The pope and all his garb, shows he lives for this world's glory, and power.
His kingdom is of this wicked world.

Never would I bow to such a wicked man, or believe in such a church.
