*** I don’t need a priest to tell me I’ve done wrong and to do “penance” for it. I have the discernment to figure that out on my own through prayer and study of scripture.***

The same discernment that has given the rise to hundreds of thousands of different Protestant theologies?

Pity the Pope. He is, it seems from Protestant interpretation, possibly the only theological enquirer who cannot be guided infallibly by the Spirit.
