I am a Catholic and do not follow such men as Luther, Wesley, Zwingley, Calvin, Smythe, Henry VIII, etc.

You don't follow those particular men, but you follow men such as them. You also allow them to claim infallibility, a title which no man deserves except Jesus Christ.

We respect our leaders to the extent their teachings and lives line up with the Bible, and we recognize our responsibility to be like the Bereans in Acts 17:10-11, who "received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." Meanwhile, your church did all it could to prevent such examination for about 1000 years, even executing those who dared to translate the Bible into a language the people could understand.

If you'd like to know where I disagree with Luther, Wesley, Zwingley, Calvin, Smythe, Henry VIII [really?!?!], etc., on matters of faith and morals, I'd be glad to provide it to you. (Most of the disagreement comes from them accepting unbiblical Catholic doctrines that were too ingrained into the society of the time.) Perhaps you could do the same with Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

First of all, did you determine thet the Catholic doctrines were unbiblical????if so, how??

Infallibility is, indeed scriptural for the Catholic church...what you shall bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven, what you loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven......do you think that Christ would have designated this power, and then allowed men to act in error????...I think not...he protects His church from error in matters of faith and morals.....
