Why would she? They don't have any "special authority" and most of what they proclaim is not Scriptural, such as this blasphemy that they have the power of God to "bind and loosen".
Mark 2:7 Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?
The hierarchy of the EO and RCC are no different than the scribes of Jesus' day.
He just gave the all the keys to bind and loosen, and promises that whatever they (the select ones, the clergy) bind on earth shall be bound in heaven.
Just self serving institutional nonsense.
What is the Key to the Kingdom?
What happens to those that have the Key?
What happens to those that do not have the Key?
***What is the Key to the Kingdom?

Very perceptive questions.
The Old Testament keeper of the keys is the immediate subordinate of the supreme power of the land. Number two, as it were.
The number two speaks with the authority of the king.
Those without the keys do not.
Cherry-picking and ignoring the scripture. Jesus specifically told the disciples that whatever they bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever they forgive it shall be forgiven in heaven as well. Their successors, by their choice, fill the same office. That's how the Church operated in the first century, and this is how it operates to this day.

You are entitled to your opinion. I don't think the Reformed are even Christians (more like "Paulians"). They are a cult that believes God makes little demons and give them to unlucky parents.

The key is the authority to bind and losen.
