Nobody needs the catholic church to determine what is or not God's word and in fact have error-ed when they have tried to do so. Just because the catholic leadership determines something certainly doesn't make it so. Only catholics believe the leadership of the catholic church.
Thus the Reformation because they had moved the church so far from the disciples teachings and the word of God says. Had it not Incorporated all the rituals and pomp and desire to be as regal as Rome and it's Government involvement...(which it still does) the Reformation would not have been necessary...but greed, murder, corruption, false teachings prevailed and does so too day.
Some will hold on for dear life to what they believe is the catholic churches authority, which it does not represent to the body of Christ, and why God intervened to bring true Christians back to the path He intended.
Further, they continue to change their positions and to teach so.... using the scriptures to justify their man made ordinances, dogma and traditions which is an affront to the true teachings of Christianity.
The Bible is NOT Catholic Documentation ....if that were true the church would not have Priests nor a Pope today...and it certainly wasn’t written by Catholics! It’s Gods word alone and to all mankind.
Catholics sound like Old Soviet Russians. “Ve inwented it vurst!”
