"It merely does NOT have UNLIMITED authority!"

Please kindly point our the limitations in the following:

"Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." - Matthew 18:18

Peace be with you

The RCC misusing Scripture to justify itself is not uncommon.

Too bad most of the popes didn’t have the character or integrity that the first disciples did.

Oh, silly me. That’s right. Nobody is perfect. We all have skeletons in our closets.

Jesus gave that kind of unlimited power to easily corruptible man? I don’t think so. That verse is being misinterpreted and abused for the power grab of the Catholic hierarchy.

Well, for one, it says nothing about those following after "YOU".
