All of these bishops you quote are liars.

Their lie is further exposed by the fact that, although they claim the right to refuse to “apply” Canon 915 in the case of pro-abortion politicians, none of them DARES to claim the same right when it comes to giving Communion to the divorced-and-illicitly-remarried.

Can. 1078 §1 The local Ordinary can dispense his own subjects wherever they are residing, and all who are actually present in his territory, from all impediments of ecclesiastical law, except for those whose dispensation is reserved to the Apostolic See.

Its your church, the one RCs are always promoting as the alternative to interpretative judgments on individual and lower levels, but that is a problem in Rome as well. The NT church was not found upon the premise of an assuredly infallible magisterium, but on Scriptural substantiation in word and in power. The more manifest that was, the greater the unity. Lacking the apostles and their signs and attestation, we have less unity, but the principle is operative.

I don’t know why you quote Canon 1078. It’s not relevant.

If you are correct, the NT Church was founded on something that didn't exist, because not one word of the NT Scriptures was written for years after the Church came into existence. You have it all exactly backwards. It was the Church that produced the Scriptures, used them liturgically, and distinguished between those to be considered inspired and those not. Jesus told the Apostles to spread out through the world, to teach, and to baptize. In other words, to be the Church. The Scriptures they wrote contain not one word from Jesus telling them to write one word.
