This tradition of Pope's, the imperiacal structure of the church, the liberal bent toward God's word is not what God intended things to be like. Of course most Catholics I know would have no idea about these things because they rely on a relationship with their preists to tell them what God thinks instead of THEMSELVES going right to the source.
This is NOT a slam on the parishioner's of Catholism as unholy or Godless, but more a rebuke of the laziness and dishonest accessments one takes to search scripture for answers. When God says, "Seek and you shall find," he's just not referring to Himself, he's also saying to know the Truth, YOU have to seek the Truth. If you're relying on someone else to tell you what God thinks, you're being irresponsible to his charge....Every church needs to pay close attention to the first chapters of Revelation, because they are not only a warning to past churches, but churhes right now, today! WAKE UP!
The veil is rent!!!
This is precisely the structure established by Christ for His Church.
Matt. 16:19; 18:18 - the apostles are given Christ's authority to make visible decisions on earth that will be ratified in heaven. God raises up humanity in Christ by exalting his chosen leaders and endowing them with the authority and grace they need to bring about the conversion of all. Without a central authority in the Church, there would be chaos (as there is in Protestantism).
Don't kid yourself. "This" most certainly is a slam. An ignorant one at that.
Every church needs to pay close attention to the first chapters of Revelation
Ah yes, Revelation, The Apocalypse of St. John. You seem to have skipped those parts describing the Catholic Mass; the altar, "Holy, Holy, Holy", incense, vestments, the Eucharist, prayers of the saints in heaven, the Lamb of God, et al contained within.
WAKE UP!
Yes, indeed, you should.

Before you suggest that your interpretation of Scripture holds more weight than the interpretation of the Church, the culmination of 2000 years of scholarship, you should try to master spelling and grammar.
