Well, that's something, isn't it?

Unlike Luther though, the Pope and every valid Bishop since the Apostles has had the Power to Loose and Bind. Luther, well, not so much.

Every Christian has the power to loose and bind - your reading of Scripture is mistaken. (so much for agreement, eh?)

[roamer_1:] Every Christian has the power to loose and bind

I wouldn't want to leave you with that impression exactly - So let me correct my words:

Potentially, any Christian has the power to loose and bind - The power resides in the Spirit, not in the man, be he a ditch-digger or a pope.
