Again, who sent you? I think your proselytizing here is focused on yourself.

What else does a protestant have for authority but himself?

That’s why there are more than 25,000 different sects of protestant and growing into increasing irrelevance. No problem here, it’s the way nature works.

Proddys would have to work hard for centuries to catch up with the diverse fractious factions under the Vatican umbrella.

Given the bureaucratic magicsterical power-mongers—each with a different slant . . . and lots of local pontificating folks with different slants . . . it’s no wonder Scuba Teddy Kennedy and Puhlousey can claim brazenly to be Roman Catholic with as viable a version of Roman Catholocism as any other powerful, wealthy elite courted by the Vatican as pretty good alright kosher enough to kiss Papal rings etc.

What a farce.

=============================================

CHRIST AND PAUL BOTH asserted that we have Holy Spirit as a more than sufficient authority--given HIS LEADING US INTO ALL TRUTH, RIGHTLY DIVIDING SCRIPTURES.

OF COURSE we realize that RC's are quite given to arguing with Christ about those doing The Father's will being HIS TRUE BROTHERS AND SISTERS EQUAL TO OR ABOVE HIS BLOOD HALF-BROTHERS AND HALF-SISTERS--YET THE VATICAN INSISTS THEY ARE NONEXISTENT TO far lower than Mary; about Holy Spirit leading individuals and groups sufficiently authoritatively and functionally . . . etc. etc. etc.

AFTER ALL . . . !!!!TRADITION!!!! rules, NOT Holy Spirit

AT THE VATICAN!

And when Holy Spirit is on vacation--usually at 'spouse' Mary's orders--perhaps for His ?health?--then the WHITE HANKYS RULE.

/satire
