LOL Of course I do not deny the societal institution of ekklesia. There were five main centers for Bishoprics: Constantinople, Alexandria, Rome, Jerusalem and Antioch. There was no pope over these five until the schism and the appointing of Leo to be ‘the pope’ over the Western Bishoprics. In 445 the Emperor of the Roman Empire appointed Leo the ‘Primate of All Bishops’ and popery was born.
Let us put aside for the moment the question of the pope. Do you accept the authority of the gathered bishops in ecumenical councils?
