"Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven."

That statement was addresed to the Apostles. The last of them died about 1900 years ago. It has no application to any person living today, Catholic or otherwise.

The office of "apostle" is to be continued (Acts 1:20-26) to the present day.

So you're in the business of arbitrarily assigning expiration dates to Holy Scripture? By what authority, and with what evidence do you make this curious statement?
