i just saw this post.
so, you do admit the Holy Spirit leads the Church into all truth, good we have common ground since this is Catholic Doctrine.
now, since we agree on the role of the Holy Spirit, please explain how the Holy Spirit allowed the Church to not understand any of the following for 16 centuries: the canon of Scripture, baptism, the Eucharist, apostolic succession, salvation by faith alone and the Mass.
Sorry, the canon was established early on. Only after trent were the ecclesiastical /apocryphal writings 'canonized'.
baptism, the Eucharist, apostolic succession, salvation by faith alone and the Mass.
these things were understood - man has a way of mixing things up too, many of the items you noted are based on man - not bible.
