but to make it a central teaching of Christianity is preposterous. Who is the authority in the Church? You, or the Pope speaking ex cathedra?

Are you an ordained priest?

It's not me or any other human. It is Christ that is the authority over His Body of believers written in the Book of Life.
The Pope is the authority of the Roman Catholic Church but I put my faith before Christ, not on an institution that has a dubious past and covers up for pedophiles and homosexual priests. And yes, there are pedophiles, homosexuals, adulterers and the like in plenty of Protestant Churches too.

Gal 3:28-29
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
I will take God's promise over any MAN all hours of the day.
