I used to think the same...being brought up in a nondenominational school all my life, and hearing catholic bashing, but I read long ago, a protestant that took everything that is said during mass, and they take it all from the bible. now, I'm not talking about the sermon, as that is generally only 10 minutes long anyways...but the songs they do between readings, and the other ritual sayings are all bible verses.
Now, if you are talking about translation of the bible...that may be different. And actually, the more I read the bible, the more I see that Catholics are very close to the truth. There are some things that I don't agree with though, say, confession, but I had a priest say that I could definitely confess to God, but that confession was a sacrament, and most people will not consistently look at their sins. I'm sure there are other priests that look at it differently though.
anyways, I know you didn't want to go there, but thought I'd explain myself a bit anyways.
the important thing is that you know your savior and you are doing his will.
