Please supply a scripture that states this
read what they wrote and spoke about -- yons Catholic teachings...

And if there was only two options for followship I would choose Catholic over Protestant!
It is obvious after the priesthood of the Jesus Christ was taken from the earth
No longer was the heavens open so how much of the offical ordinance of the Lord could be performed?
