Your posting is most interesting.

My point is that each of the Protestant denominations or individuals takes upon himself for either himself or the group the authority of determining theology and doctrine.

I don’t understand the vehemence, nor do I understand the off-base conclusion.

Your understanding is incorrect. Your conclusion is off-base.

You hunt for a dictionary definition of "Pope" and post it as absolute proof. I publish the Catholic definition of "Pope" and I am off-base.

And, for the record, there was no vehemence express or implied in my response. I do reserve the right to disagree with you. Is that ok?

It’s quite okay.

And, to a certain extent, you have given me supporting evidence. Thank you.
