You will of course note I said "Divine sign" indicating that I was looking for some indicator, or gesture of divine origin, that would demonstrat that Elsie had a special charisma to infallibly teach from scripture.
 
While we P-folks  are 'looking for some indicator, or gesture of divine origin, that would demonstrat that the RCC had a special charisma to infallibly teach from an interpretation of scripture.
 
 
Taking a verse or two [out of context] and building upon it is what Satan did.  I posted entire chunks of verses, pointing out what is LEFT OUT of  'our Holy Father's doctrine.

I must have missed that part. As for the Holy Father's charisma to teach infallibly; that is a limitation of his commandment from Our Lord to confirm the faith of his brethren. And, they all as a group, confirmed by Peter, have the authority to bind and loos, both in heaven and earth. God would not have given them that authority unless he was going to guard them with his Holy Spirit, and he says as much at the time by declaring that the gates of hell will have no power over them.

However, the Pope's charism was not what we were talking about. We were talking the nature of the Church as the Mystical Body of Christ. You said "Thats news to me" (Post 1290), and preceded to quote Paul at length. However nowhere did you show me a piece of scripture that contradicted my comment that the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ; quite the contrary, most our your quotes appear to support me.

So perhaps you will be so good as to explain why the Church is not the Body of Christ. Otherwise I'm going to assume you are simply confused.
