"Baal worship" is not an organization.
The Catholic Church is the oldest (legitimately traced back to AD 33; the next oldest is only about 500 years old) and largest organization that the world's ever seen.

Complete hogwash!
You don't know that. Nobody except the pope for sure knows all that the Lord taught His Apostles and what the Apostles taught to the first generation of Church bishops.
You don't know that the Lord didn't teach the Apostles to teach the Magisterium that the Church ought to vie for political power until such a time that the world learned the importance of religious liberty and the separation between Church and state.
Your interpretation of history is discontinuous, while the Magisterium implores us to interpret history continuously.

The Pope doesn't know anything. What would a Roman, 300 years after the resurrection... 1000 miles away in enemy territory know about what Jesus taught? Especially, for the first 300 years of Christianity, the Romans put Christians to death!
You church has nothing to do with Jesus and everything to do with re-branded Roman Mithraism and Paganism... only the names have been changed to try and make it more palatable.
You really need to start studying the history of the Roman cult.
First of all, working backwards, what the Church teaches are by definition Christian tenets.
And secondly, can you agree that by whatever standard you judge the worthiness of the Church's Magisterium to teach authoritatively the Christian faith, ought to be applied to anybody who is claiming to teach something about the Christian faith?
That's not true.
we can tell that you have gone off the deep end

Because they are fools and do what their parents tell them to do... ad nauseum...
Only cult members listen to the Pope.

It would be impossible to judge the non-christian magesterium by christian standards..... they are too stupid and ignorant... and most importantly, have closed their minds to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Basically they have built themselves a false castle they cannot escape from and are doomed to roam its accursed halls.

Rev 13:3 (KJV)
What do you do with the references to "the altar?"
Matthew 16:19 and John 20:23 were directed at the Apostles.
Then why do so many people have so many different opinions on what He taught?
He taught His Apostles everything that they needed to know to administer His Church, which is God's kingdom, now in seed form, here on earth.
The Catholic Church is not totalitarian.
Well, OK, but where is this "Baal worship" organization? What's its name? Website? Who's the chief executive?
Made up.

Within Catholic tradition, "the alter" is a clear reference to going to take communion. Within other traditions the concept holds, before you go before God, check your heart.
