Once again the Catholics neglect to listen to the first step.

Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:

Besides, Catholic Priests don’t even qualify scripturally to be a bishop or elders in the church.

1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

Titus 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

If they are unqualified to hold the office they have no business telling people what to do or even be in a position of teaching.

1 Timothy 6:3
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

1 Timothy 6:4
Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions.

1 Timothy 6:5
These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth.
