I *think* then our disagreement is on authority. Who corrects - as St. Paul did - false doctrine and liturgy and by what authority.

You likely disagree, but I believe that as a practical matter without authority - apostolic for example - the Christian faith and gospel is not transmitted to us.

No, i don,t think i disagree on that point, i just believe the Gospel is the words that Jesus spoke and what he spoke was to be spread to all of the world.

And i see nothing that jesus said about who was to be greatest among the Apostles.

Some one needs to be in charge at a Church just like some one needs to be in charge at a dinner but i don,t see how that can make it a heiarchy no more than just one person digging a ditch can be called an anarchist.

The gospel could have been and actually has been taught by truck drivers as well as fishermen, and possibly by a few people who went to college to become ministers.
