The aternative is to give everybody apostolic authoritythen we have Protestantism...talk about heebie jeeepies!
Boy have you been brain washed.. protestants are protesting nothing.. They are not protestants.. The so-called catholics are not "universal(catholic)" either.. Churchs are clubs.. or better Synagogs.. Jesus instituted a family not an organization.. Jesus never supported "the Synagog".. He taught in them but never advocated gathering like that..
