Actually, everything Catholics do is based on Scripture; those original passages you all cut out of the Bible. Our understanding of those passages continues to develop over time as the Holy Spirit continues to lead us toward all Truth.

Each of your successive posts is increasingly less “persuasive” and more incoherent. What IS being expressed very well is animosity. Rome is not ashamed; has not been ashamed for 2,000 years; and will not be ashamed 2,000 years from now. God the Father and Christ fashioned the Catholic Church and they don’t make mistakes.

Long after your roomfulls of “persuasive arguers” are gone and your words and personal interpretations of Scripture have faded from anyone’s memory, the Catholic Church will still be preaching the same Good News it has preached and will preach forever.

My personal opinion is that many Protestants who froth at the mouth with such hatred for the Pope are actually envious of his authority when it comes to his connection with Christ. Protestant “persuaders” seem to want to set themselves up as little, individual Popes who tell people what their interpretation of scripture is. This is, at the least, vanity; and, at the worst, the sin of pride. Christ has already made his selection for the leadership of His Church.

"My personal opinion...

That is all the Catholic Church is comprised of...personal opinions of some guys in bathrobes and sequined slippers. Tragic. Repent Rome, if you can.
