"Several in my time said that their Churches had no "Magesterium" to lead and guide them. It was a fact of life."

The Holy Spirit must have inspired many different opinions then, given the number of "Reformist" Christian denominations out there.

Then evidently your God is the Author of confusion. Objectively, there are thousands of differing opinions concerning the Bible among your co-religionists. God CANNOT be the Author of all of them! Yet that is what you claim. How does one distinguish the inspired nature of your opinion from any other non-Catholic on this forum alone? You all certainly do NOT agree on everything? You are your own magisterium, plain and simple. Yet you accuse Catholics of opposition to God's will when at least THEY can provide some scriptural evidence for the application of magisterial authority to the successors of St. Peter. You obviously don't buy that, but at least the case can be made. Where's the scriptural evidence for your assertions regarding YOUR magisterial authority, as opposed to any other Protestant?

Do I detect that you are non denominational? How do you interpret the following? Why was it written? Do you think someone should study chapter and verse and interpret?

Chapter 21- Verse 25
"And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."
