“Your problem is that you cannot and never will be able to authoritatively quote Scripture because this authority was given exclusively to Peter and his successors.”
Well, unless this is Pope Francis’ FReep account, by your own argument YOU can’t authoritatively quote Scripture either, since you consider the Popes to be the successors of Peter, correct?
So, why are you quoting Scripture in your posts? You can’t claim the authority to interpret it without making yourself a hypocrite.
I am quoting Scripture as authoritatively interpreted by the Catholic Church founded by Peter and his successors. That’s the difference.
