Why don't you tell me.

Why don't you tell me.

Nice try but I would expect you to back up your "facts" with something more substantial than a misdirection.

The fact is I don't know. (Take a peek at my tagline).

I do know they weren't appointed by a non-existant Pope.

If you suggest the Apostles appointed Bishops then you agree there was no central (Pope) appointing authority.

If Paul appointed Bishops was he the Pope?

I made no claim that things in the RCC have remained unchanged for 2,000 years. You found it necessary to answer for someone else so I assumed you had facts, not smoke, to back your claim.
