It is this statement that comes across as being typically Protestant in tone,
"I just take Jesus at His word, literally. I also take Jesus literally when He prayed 'that they all may be one.'"
You don't see that?
The Protestant interpretation of those verses is that Jesus didn't really mean what He said and that when He said He would build His church on Peter, He didn't really mean Peter as a person, but in general on the apostles. That is what I learned in the Presbyterian church 40 years ago. That is why when I say when I take Him literally, that I mean I believe He did establish His church on Peter as a person, as the first bishop of Rome, which I certainly didn't learn about in the Presbyterian church. We were not taught about bishops, priests, and deacons, even though they are mentioned in the Bible. That part was just ignored. There is no way that you can say what I'm saying is Protestant, because in the Presbyterian church at least, the tendency is to pretend that Jesus didn't really mean what He said. That's why you will find grape juice instead of wine at communion, that communion is just a memorial service, and that it certainly isn't the Body and Blood of the Lord.
