And that would be absolutely consistent with what I have observed with the roman catholic church; man over God.

I observe just the same outside of it: personal revelation, personal interpretation of Scripture, personal knowledge of salvation, personal relationship with Jesus; me, me, me, me.

Actually, interpretation of scripture does not occur outside of what normally is accepted by leading protestant theologians. Heresy is heresy no matter who makes the claim that scripture means something it does not.

There are clear standards of Biblical interpretation. The catholic church throughout the centuries has twisted scripture to achieve monetary and political ambitions.

Many protestant groups twist scripture to achieve monetary and power ambitions. Great theologians interpret scripture and have verifiable reasons for their conclusions. The pope hides behind infallability and any rejection of that idea was anathema.

Never mind the catholic churches problem with heretical popes. Don't you find it amazing that Pope Honorius I was condemed by the Sixth General Council for teaching the heretical idea of monothelite? It appears that Pope Leo II confirmed his anathematization.

What is up with this?
