Fact. The first principle of a protestant is non serviam. I will not serve. Always the “no” first. Disobedient children. That “collective” you speak of is the Body of Christ guided by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Anyone who uses the word “autocratic” to describe the teaching office of the Church has an authority problem born out of radicial individualism. “Who are you to...[insert objection here]...” Worshippers of Rand and not Christ.
I see. So your argument is that the historical stewards of Scripture are the infallible interpreters of it, and are to be submitted to, and those that do not are rebels? Affirm or deny.
And consistent with "I will not serve," thus liberalism abounds asc well as lack of common contention to core truth among those who most closely hold to the historical Protestant view of Scripture, while Rome is known for disciplining her liberals, now that she has lost her unBiblical use of the sword of men? Yes or no.
That “collective” you speak of is the Body of Christ guided by the power of the Holy Spirit.
As you are contending for Catholicism versus those without, you must mean that she is the body of Christ, in contrast to those in Protestantism? Affirm or deny your argument here.

I see, thus it could not be allegiance to Scripture as supreme, and thus conditional submission to authority which it enjoins, that is behind dissent to a church which has presumed to infallibly declare she is and will be perpetually infallible whenever she speaks in accordance with her infallibly defined (scope and subject-based) formula, which renders her declaration that she is infallible, to be infallible, as well as all else she accordingly declares?
Just answer the questions clearly one by one without the usual propaganda. Its getting late.
Depends on what is being served.
It's *No* to the heavy hand of the Catholic church.
It's more than *YES!* to Christ.
That “collective” you speak of is the Body of Christ guided by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The church is an organism, not an organization.
Individuals are guided by the Holy Spirit. The Catholic church can lay no unique or special claim to that.
Matter of fact, the non-Scriptural teachings it demands its followers to obey under threat of hellfire, show it to be NOT guided by the Holy Spirit.
