The Catholics can have authoritative teachings because they have Apostolic Succession. The Pope is the heir of the Apostles in a direct line, and what he says is the official doctrine.

But if you believe in the priesthood of all believers and justification through faith alone, it's kind of hard to keep out heretics, particularly antinominians.

no they don't. The Papacy can not be traced to the Apostles at all because none of the Apostles were ever Pope nor set themselves up as such. The Papacy(Pontifex Maximus) is a creation of Constantine not Christ.

The Church was defined by Christ in the Gospel as being wherever two or more a gathered for His namesake...

The "official" doctrine is that which was given by Moses. Moses was the lawgiver. Christ came to fulfill the law, said so Himself.

The entire Bible from Genesis to Revealations is a Zionist doctrine. Yahweh and Yeshua are Zionists without compromise.

Any nation that rises against Israel is a kingdom of the Enemy...

No, the position of the Pope is a direct succession of the Ancient Roman Emperors.
