"Furthermore, while we Catholics (Latin as in the case of Annalex and me and also Eastern Catholics like NYer) and Orthodox (Greek, Russian etc.) and others can say for a FACT that what we say represents Apostolic Church teachings and is believed in by The Church"

Actually, what you are saying is you believe as FACT what your respective churches say is truth. Thank God, Luther and those men of faith before him and after let in the Light of the Truth of the Word that set us free from the bondage of spiritually, stifling clericalism. It may seem like spiritual anarchy to you but it is really unity in the essentials but not uniformity in the non essentials.

No, it's what we know and learn through The Holy Spirit that works through the Church.

rather -- what they did was make you dependent on men's interpretation, like Luther or the "pastor" down the street who broke away from the "pastor" on the next street because he preferred coffee to tea, yadda-yadda-yadda.
