“It’s the SHEPHERD’s job to care for the sheep. It’s not up to the sheep to care for themselves or the shepherd. They are not capable of it. That’s why God gave them a shepherd.”
As you so often do - at least twice now in this thread alone - you imply someone said something that no one here has said. You wrote: “It’s not up to the sheep to care for themselves or the shepherd.” No one here said it was their job to “care for...the shepherd”. Nobody said that.
Read Galatians 1:6-10. Clearly Paul expects the Christian faithful to take responsibility and do what is right even if an “angel from heaven” told them otherwise. No mention is made of a shepherd there.
Jesus was talking to Peter.
Catholics don’t seem to have any problem with it when they claim Jesus gave peter the keys to the kingdom and whatever he bound on earth was bound in heaven, but now nobody wants to take the responsibility when Jesus gives Peter responsibility for caring for the church.
I guess apostolic succession doesn’t include accepting responsibility when things don’t go right, eh?
