I just described "the Catholics' practice".
you'll see another of their many disputes with Scripture.
Which will never begin to compare with the Protestants' many outright rejections of Scripture, starting with John chapter 6 and 1 Cor chapter 11.
You're starting to annoy me now, so I'll post the link to Marcus Grodi's "Scripture verses I never saw [as a Protestant minister]"
Perhaps you should re-read what you wrote. The Bible says one thing. Catholicism says another.
The Bible says bishops or overseers or elders or shepherds (or, if you prefer, presbyters). Catholicism says priests.
The Bible says we are all priests. Catholicism says “Here’s your priest.”
The Bible says we have salvation through Jesus, our High Priest. Catholicism says you have to go through their priest.
The Bible says bishops are to be husbands and fathers. Catholicism says they’re not to be married nor have families.
The Bible says husbands and wives are not to cease conjugal relations except temporarily. Catholicism says their bishop-priests are to cease permanently.
I can’t understand why anyone would choose Catholicism over Christianity. *shrug*
