read what scripture has to say

I think you can see me daily on this thread. Many, and I'd say most substantive posts of mine argue from scripture. I am well aware of what the scripture has to say on the subjects I speak about.

Priests and Popes are only human and they are NOT infallible.

Human they are. Infallible is the Church as a whole:

I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

(Matthew 16:18)

Peter and his successors are infalible when they speak for the Church:

31 And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.

(Luke 22)

They have no right to decide who is in purgatory or who is in heaven.

Christ said Peter can:

19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

(Matthew 16)

Your interpretations of those scriptures, especially the one about the Church, just isn't right, annalex. The CHURCH is not a denomination or a building. It is the body of believers. WE are His church, annalex. There IS one true church and it's those of us who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and live according to His precepts. No Pope is infallible, no church is infallible. Sorry. You are just plain wrong about that.
