“Should you make use of the Bible alone as the source and norm of your Faith, then you must also be certain that the Bible that you have is the genuine Bible. Who vouches for that?” It is impossible to accept the Biblical canon without someone with divine authority vouching for it.

What with the condition of the Catholic hierarchy throughout the ages and their immorality and corruption, the governing body of the Catholic religion is the last one I would trust to have discernment in spiritual matters.

Seeing as they don’t obey Scripture themselves, they cannot be trusted to give wise spiritual, Scripturally sound guidance to anyone.

It's not the Catholics who are disobeying John 20:23.
