Which is so damning of those who state that the Holy Spirit cannot operate through Apostolic Succession and is incapable of participating in Apostolic Tradition, or, get this, the Holy Spirit cannot guide the Magisterium, but 'indwells" in every milkmaid and farmhand...LOL

Why would the Holy Spirit work through Apostolic Succession when there is no such thing as Apostolic Succession?

Your logic is akin to saying "since the Holy Spirit works in our lives, the Holy Spirit must serve solid gold Big Macs at McDonalds."

Rome teaches superstition and error, in contrast to the evidence of Scripture.

To believe that the

Vatican cult operates in any way, any respect to the least degree

from ‘Apostolic succession’

is to believe in

magicsterical fairy tales of the worst sort of the worst order from the worst source.

“or, get this, the Holy Spirit cannot guide the Magisterium, but ‘indwells” in every milkmaid and farmhand...LOL”

I’d put it thus: “The Holy Spirit is alive and well, but He doesn’t contradict what he said earlier to the Apostles. Scripture “is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

So if something goes beyond scripture, it may not be false, but neither is it needed to equip the servant of God for every good work!
