Did he really claim that?
then Luther’s followers can do the same
That's what you get when you follow men, like Catholics do.
When you compare your life to Scripture and the standards set therein, you see whether your life matches up to God's standards or not and don't depend on feelings. The conscience can be deceitful. God's word never changes.
and so naturally the non-stop “reformation” began, creating millions of popes - each man his own.
It is simply beyond the comprehension of Catholics that people don't blindly follow other men. They have this *pope* mentality that they don't realize others don't have.
We follow Christ, not any man who sets up himself as such or is elected by another group of men. The old boy network is alive and well.
What is it with Catholics not being able to grasp the idea that every man is equal to every other man, CREATED EQUAL?? Do Catholics also, by this standard, reject the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. Constitution? Every man is his own captain, responsible for his own ship. If I didn't know better, I would think Catholics are not comfortable with freedom of any kind...perhaps the reason they don't understand that democrats take freedoms AWAY...and just keep voting them in. Or perhaps they DO understand that, and just want to be controlled in everything they do. Tell them what to do, and they will follow, smiling all the way. Give them their freedom to decide, whether in politics or religion, and they coil into a fetal position in a corner, confused and afraid to move.
