"Maybe Thomas A Kempis and his <<<"Imitation of [Christ]Christianity>>> leads the Church???"
Nope!
Neither does "Peter" another fallible mortal.
My Bible tells me it is CHRIST who leads the church and why CHREISTIANS follow Him. Catholics don't follow Him - well, when it fits in with their yarn of a religion ... then when it doesn't they look to other sinners with an agenda to lead them and control them.
Pss.118:8,9
[8] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
[9] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
Confidence is placed in another sinner, the pope. They will NOT fare well with this trust in him. His teachings are NOT in line with Christ - a few here and there ARE but there are enough that are NOT that separate them from Christians.

The random Scripture generator strikes!
You DO know that we think the Pope is a sinner, don't you? The difference is that we trust in God's promises and celebrate the Love which prompted Him to make them. And you all look on and have no clue what we are doing.
When you say something that I recognize as something I believe, then I'll answer it. But as long as you continue to say things about us which we don't believe and revel in your lack of knowledge ..., well it's the Lord's day and I am feeding my animals and taking a nap. It's been fun, but too frivolous.

Interesting.
Then I suspect you do not belong to a recognized religion?
Who wrote your Bible?
Do you believe in the Triune Godhead?
