V-Applying to the Roman Catholic Church test the seals of the True Church.
Calvin explains that one must know the true Church. Recognizes that true Church through two essential elements, or both "infallible" sincere preaching of the Word of God and administering the sacraments (Baptism and Eucharist) as the institution of Jesus Christ. This is how we know the Church, for the promise of God can not fail: Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them (Matt. 18:20). When these marks or signs are not clearly expressed in a so-called church even has the appearance of serious and even if it were a group of very religious and pious, it is no longer God's Church. In the eyes of reformers such as Calvin, the Church of Rome had left both.
The Church of Rome fails to be analyzed in light of the signs of the true church for failure to exercise faithfully preaching the Word of God, and openly heretical teaching contrary to Scripture, namely
1 - Denial of the Bible as the only standard of faith, life and conduct.
According to Roman Catholic theology must be made according to three principles - Writing Apostolic Apostolic Apostolic Tradition and the Magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church. The first two of these supplied the data necessary to conduct theological research while the third was used to authoritatively make the correct interpretation of data submitted by the two material sources. Scripture and Tradition as well served as material principles of theology, while the Magisterium, to let us know for sure the correct meaning of this material served as a formal principle of theology.

2 - The immaculate conception of Mary.
This doctrine says that Mary was born without sin. Surge to misunderstand that Christ was born without sin, Mary was not sinless, nor own or inherited (original sin). Under this reasoning, Mary's parents had to be born without sin, and so transitivity could demonstrated that Adam and Eve sinned.
3 -
Assumption of Mary Assumption of Mary, or Assumption of the Virgin is the belief, according to tradition and theology of the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, the body and soul of the Virgin Mary was taken to heaven after finishing his days on earth.
This transfer is called Assumptio Beatæ Mariæ Virginis (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) by Roman Catholics, whose doctrine was defined as dogma (truth that can not be doubted) by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asunci% C3% B3n_de_Mar% C3% ADa
4 - Mary redeemer and mediator.
"... if Mary was associated by the will of God in Christ Jesus, the principle of health in the work of spiritual salvation, and it was so similar to the one that Eve was associated with Adam, first death, so we can say that our redemption is carried out according to some recapitulation, by which the human race subject to death because of a virgin, was also saved by a Virgin "" (Pius XII, Enc. Reginam Ad coeli).
5 - Mary Queen of Heaven.
The reason that the Blessed Virgin Mary is Queen theologically grounded in her divine motherhood and its role of being redemptrix of mankind. (Article: The Blessed Virgin is queen) Boniface IX

"Royal Lady, flower of holiness, being a virgin when she conceived of the Redeemer nations "..." The Queen of Heaven same "..." as humble servant, but has already become the Mother of the Lord, went to the mountain to his cousin Elizabeth ...".
Bull "Superni Benignitas" on establishing the feast of the Visitation, November 9, 1390. Sixtus V
"When we investigated the outstanding godly and wonderful deserts with which the Mother of God, Holy Virgin Mary, glorious Queen of Heaven, prefixed to the purple star, Star shines as brilliantly in the morning ... "(followed by other praises of the Virgin).
Bull" Ineffabilis Nova ", which confirms and extends the graces granted to the Holy Rosary, January 30, 1586.
6 - Infallibility Papal.
In the theology of the Roman Catholic papal infallibility is a doctrine, under which, the Pope is preserved from making a mistake when he promulgates, or declares, to the Church a dogmatic teaching on faith and moral issues in the range of solemn papal definition or declaration ex cathedra, as every truth of faith does not lend itself to discussion of any kind.
This doctrine is a dogmatic definition established First Vatican Council in 1870. Papal infallibility does not mean that the pope is safe from sin, or free of errors. Regarding the church's doctrinal guidance, teaching of the Pope is infallible when it is enacted as a solemn papal definition, secured personal assistance provided by the Holy Spirit.
The Dogmatic Constitution Pastor Aeternus, promulgated by Pope Pius IX on July 18, 1870, having been developed and approved by Vatican Council I, contains the solemn definition of the Dogma of Papal Infallibility, which is worded as follows :
"... with the approval of the sacred council, teach and define be divinely revealed dogma that the Roman Pontiff, when he speaks ex cathedra, that is, when exercising his office as Pastor and Doctor of all Christians, by virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals and should be taught be held by the whole Church, has, by the divine assistance promised him in blessed Peter, that infallibility which the divine Redeemer willed his Church to enjoy in defining doctrine of faith and morals. Therefore, the definitions of the Bishop of Rome are irreformable for themselves and not by reason of the consent of the Church. Thus, if anyone has the temerity, which God forbid, to contradict it, our definition, is anathema. "
These include (purgatory, baptismal regeneration which is not at this point because it elaborated on the issue before the intercession of saints, etc) show the detachment of the Roman Catholic Church the sound preaching of the Scriptures.
Therefore we can say that does not pass the examination of the seals of the true church, by failing to exercise a preaching of the Gospel.
