Your argument is obviously flawed and inconsistent

As "obviously flawed and inconsistent" as the Church is, in your eyes.

And thus will it ever be. If you can't tell the difference between having an authority who sets boundaries and having no visible authority, this merry-go-round will continue. See ya next spin!

If you can't tell the difference between having an authority who sets boundaries and having no visible authority, this merry-go-round will continue.

And what guarantees that your "visible authorities" aren't in error? "Because we say they can't be"?
