[Bishops in charge of various localities, the Bishops themselves being subject to St. Peter, and after his death, to the successor of St. Peter.]

This is a lie. No lie is of the truth. Those who worship God must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
Paul the apostle of God was chosen of God and commissioned and taught by the revelations of Jesus Christ after God saved Him by Jesus Christ, Paul went to Mt.Sinai (read the book of Galatians) and received the grace age revelations of Jesus Christ for us, the Body of Christ, who are the Church and saved by grace through faith only by believing God's testimony of Jesus Christ, namely how that He died for our sins and rose again the third day unto everlasting life. This is God's testimony and Catholics have forsaken the right ways of doctrine over the centuries through traditions and doctrines contrary to God's doctrine. Read the book of Galatians to verify that if you will.
Our doctrines are of the Scriptures and Paul is the wise master builder God used to build the Church on the foundation of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe the Holy Bible is the source of all truth and all heresy is unacceptable if the doctrine taught is unscriptureual. This a huge problem with the religion of Catholicism which teaches so many heresies and practices so many traditions that are contrary to the Word of God in the Scriptures.
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in mankind.
Hence, sola scriptura.

Agree in that Catholics do some things that are surprising, praying to Mary, repetetive prayers, etc. One has to admit they have organization. I was talking to a pastor recently asking him how he thought Christians should be responding to current events in our country and he responded part of our problem is our leadership, that we don't have a "Pope". When men do try to rise up and be spokesmen too easily they are destroyed by the media and not recognized with any authority by Protestants, hence we get politicians like McCain making comments like he did about Falwell and Robertson.

I am not saying Protetants need a Pope but just pointing out that some things Catholics seem to be "doing right".
