Sorry, Melian, that is precisely the point. If you are relying on the Scriptures to promise that, your guyes running the cult don't agree with you. They will decide what it is that your faith is. The pope is to be followed even when "new" revelation is given through his pointy hat. You folks are destiny-bound to accept whatever kook-ball direction that takes you. Read that...this is just how the Catholics strayed so far from the message of grace that is already in the Book that started this. We at least have a returning point...you guys are cut adrift to float ever further from the shore. Repent, Rome, if you can.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about, Dutchboy88. Whenever the Pope speaks “from the chair” he provides huge documents supporting his pronouncement that provide Scriptural and historical evidence for his teaching.
Catholicism’s basic teaching, the Creed, is virtually unchanged from the time of the Apostles. It is Protestants who have drifted away. We see that in the thousands of interpretations/denominations/persuasive leaders of the Protestant movement. If you’re looking for orthodoxy these days, Catholicism is where it’s at. Many Protestants are discovering that after their persuasive leaders ask them to accept gay marriage, women priests, and gay clergy.
The mocking tone of Protestant posts is un-Christian. And, though it makes the poster feel better, I doubt it persuades many readers.
