My personal favorite when I was still a knight of Columbus was that the knights and the Opus Dei organization are controlled by the Illuminati.

Still makes me chuckle.
Yes, those bible studies are the controlling finders of the Rothschild or some such.
 
All of the above, plus the baloney about how we’re not allowed to pray directly to Jesus and don’t have a “personal relationship” with him.
 
That the Catholic Church was started by the Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicea in 325.
 
Big lies according to Diane Moczar
  • Middle Ages: the era of “darkness”
  • Catholic Church “enemy” of progress
  • Lies about the Crusades
  • the “sinister, bloody unfair” Inquisition
  • Church vs Galileu (“Church vs science”)
  • Church being corrupted as a whole
  • Black legend: the Spanish colonization of the Americas was a brutal and unfair act against the poor peaceful natives

That the Church still sells indulgences.

… or that “buying” indulgences was ever endorsed by the Church. From Catholic Answers’ tract on “Myths About Indulgences”:

Myth 7: A person used to be able to buy indulgences.​

One never could “buy” indulgences. The financial scandal surrounding indulgences that gave Martin Luther an excuse for his heterodoxy, involved indulgences in which the giving of alms to some charitable fund or foundation was used as the occasion to grant the indulgence. There was no outright selling of indulgences. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: “Among the good works which might be encouraged by being made the condition of an indulgence, almsgiving would naturally hold a conspicuous place. . . . To give money to God or to the poor is a praiseworthy act, and, when it is done from right motives, it will surely not go unrewarded.”

 
There are Evangelicals who believe Catholics literally worship Satan … even though the promise of baptism literally includes a promise to “reject Satan and all his false promises”.

Catholics do worship the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints and good angels, in the form called veneration, but not adoration which is reserved for the Holy Trinity alone.

Modern Catholic Dictionary, worship (excerpt):
Acknowledgment of another’s worth, dignity, or superior position. In religion, worship is given either to God, and then it is adoration, or to the angels and saints, and it is called veneration. … (Etym. Old English weorthscipe, honor, dignity, reverence: weorth , worth +ship.)

Which is why Mexico and Paraguay have mixed European/Aboriginal majorities, right?
 
Would you please do me a favour, and make that coherent, instead of rambling?
 
That The Catholic Church is the whore of Babylon in the book of Revelation (believed by JWs).
