Thank you.

I deliberately started with the intention to build Christ’s Church, leaving the issue of who the Rock is aside. The point is that think what you will about the papacy, this is a statement of the Church being the rule of faith, the body of people who “bind and loose”.

Amen! Yes there have been Church hierarchy members during whose reign I would not have wanted to live. Again, Jesus chose Judas Iscariot, does that mean the others were bad? Jesus Himself had some interesting characters in His family tree: was He any less the Son of God? Power was given to His Apostles during His Ministry: the Spirit Himself given to the Apostles on Pentecost!
