[ The aternative is to give everybody apostolic authority—then we have Protestantism... ]

Boy have you been brain washed.. protestants are protesting nothing.. They are not protestants.. The so-called catholics are not "universal(catholic)" either.. Churchs are clubs.. or better Synagogs.. Jesus instituted a family not an organization.. Jesus never supported "the Synagog".. He taught in them but never advocated gathering like that..

LOL! Is that as bad as being delusional?

Coming from the self-styled Pope Hosepipe, the Pope and the Church all in one single human (or are you? you have expressed ideas that you may be only an eternal spirit "trapped" in a body....Gnostic alert). And by what authority? The voices you hear?

***protestants are protesting nothing.. ***

The term Protestant was coined by the Reformers to name their position of protest against the Church. Read some history for proof.

***The so-called catholics are not “universal(catholic)” ***

Yes we are. We are open to all who would follow the teachings of Jesus and not substitute their own.

***Jesus instituted a family not an organization.***

Are you saying that the Apostles after Pentecost were disorganized?

***He taught in them but never advocated gathering like that..***

So when the Apostles went about their task of bishops over areas, instituting churches (written about extensively in Acts and the Epistles), they were actually going against the words of the Reformed God?
