Or to Catholics who preach non-biblical doctrines like purgatory and Mariology and indulgences, etc. The fact satan invades some churches to teach bad doctrine reinforces the need for each person to call on the Holy Spirit to reveal the meaning of God's revelation to them personally. One cannot rely on self proclaimed Pastors or Priests - ultimately one of them will Always come along with bad doctrine regardless of the Church or denomination. Father Phlegar of the Catholic Church is a good example as well as certain apostates from every Protestant denominatios. Rely on Jesus not man.
Yup -- and any Catholic priest who declares what he wants as theology instantly becomes a non-Catholic preacher.
No individual not even a bishop of rome can raise their individual theology to dogma and none has.
the bogey of some bish being the sole media is just a bogey.
That's interesting. When Mary visited the children at Fatima, she did not talk at all about bad doctrine within the Catholic Church or that the Church was doing anything wrong for that matter. She did (on all 6 visitations) tell the children to tell everyone to pray the rosary everyday.
