>>The vicar is the dude that is here, until Jesus comes again<<

That’s not what Jesus said.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

And it’s not the Pope who is put in charge of correction.

The entire book of Acts is lost upon you? Paul's Epistles are lost upon you? Interesting. Another legacy of the Reformation: Chaos Theory.

Each bishop had the authority of Christ to administer, teach and run his churches. That is Scripture, not any rabble rouser creating his own church.

Nope. Not at all.

Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh:

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Hmmm, not just the Apostles!

Then in Acts 4 we find that it’s the priests and other leaders of the people who try to stop the truth about Jesus being preached even as it is today in the RCC.

Acts 4:1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, 2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

Acts 4:15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. 17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

Even today Catholics would try to stop people from speaking the truth of scripture.

It’s the hierarchy that has always tried to stop the common man from understanding truth and proclaiming it. They try to keep the power to themselves even as the RCC does today.

Acts 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, 28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. 29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

You see, we do use and understand that Acts of the Apostles. And we will say with Peter and the other Apostles “We ought to obey God rather than men”.
