[.. Luther could not ordain anyone. Without a bishop, he was without apostolic authority. Priests do not have autonomous authority; they are bishop's lieutenants and work under the authority of one. ..]
NO ONE on this planet can ordain anybody except as officers in a Club.. ONLY the Holy Spirit can ordain any one to/for anything spiritually.

Their pay is the same whether you do or don't. With 1.2 billion Cathlics and 300 million Orthodox recognizing their authority, I think your lack of recognition will not be noticed.
What I posted was a historical fact regarding Luther, not an opinion survey.
