Never let a Bishop or priest cause you to leave YOUR Church.They are just human beings.
Jesus comes to bring life and bring it more abundantly. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. It is wrong to think that God's Name remains on an institution that does not stand for life.
Jesus decried the established religious system of His time calling the Pharisees white washed Sepulchres full of dead man's bones. It was the established religious system at His time that arranged for Him to be murdered. Do not think because something seems established that makes it right.
The Church that came out from Jesus was seperate from the established religious system of it's time. It met in people's homes not even in an established building. The Church is the true people of God who do God's will. We are the Church, those who truly believe in Jesus and recognize His headship. We are The Temple of The Living God.

No, they’re Eunuchs.
And their buggering kind has been at the occult center of virtually every instance of theocratic tyranny that has ever inflicted itself upon the human species.
From Egypt and Babylon through Boys Town and post-modern times - that’s a FACT.
Read what Jesus says to the seven churches written about in Revelation 1:10 to 3:22. It is very obvious that Christ Himself is directly the head of The Church. There is no man taking a part in that headship but Christ and Christ alone. Be careful to not let any man do your thinking for you. Let God through The Holy Spirit by the reading of His Word show you what is true. Be as the Jews at Berea who The Apostle Paul commended because they searched The Scriptures daily to be sure as to what was true or not. It is because they knew the Scriptures that when Jesus was preached to them they readily received Him.

Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
