I can't think of any other Word of God that more clearly destroys the whole concept of the Roman edifice than this:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

What we see often is faith standing on one’s own wisdom. Sometimes Protestantism is used as a way to say each has to create their own theology, relying on their own wisdom. And it comes up lacking in depth and hasn’t been fully thought out with all its ramifications.

How you reconcile the notion that we rely on the wisdom of men with Peter’s very dubious record and the much worse record of some of the popes a few centuries ago completely escapes me.
