>>>So, by what authority do you make this claim?<<<

Authority is your schtick. I value the Scriptures alone when dividing truth. The Church is generic, not “one church”. I liken myself to the black sheep of Lk.9.49-50. He was not one of the twelve or the seventy-two, so the disciples attempted to stop him. His “authority” was that he acted in Christ’s name. Christ answered his disciples:

“Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

“I value the Scriptures alone when dividing truth.”

I...I...I...I.... This is why there is so much error. Some can’t grasp One Church or One Pope...but they are fine with 100 Million Popes.

Nonsensical. Authority is not my schtick, it is what Jesus gave to some. “...the power to loose and bind...”, from Jesus Christ himself.

Yes, to be consistent with some RCs, the man had no authority to operate in the name of the Lord apart from their sanction, and one could reject him doing so and not be rejecting Christ.

Of course, it was demanded of a certain itinerant Preacher where He obtained His authority, and who invoked the ministry of another itinerant preacher in response.
