So, when Jesus establsihed His church upon the Papacy, and commanded His Apostles offer the Sacrifice of the New Covenant and consume the New Covenant meal, He was just teachinh simple values?
Whoa dude/dudeette !! You lost me at the Papacy. I'm having trouble finding that word in the "Catholic"(your word) New Testament. You'll probably point me to the part where Jesus says to Peter about the Rock upon which He'll build His church. Jesus is The Rock upon which the church is founded. Peter if you'll recall denied the Lord three times. Poor foundation there. The apostles authority and power were present as long as they were connected to God. Through God all things are possible. Without God - not much is possible.
