By claiming that they have the power to bind and loose that was given them by God, they are in effect putting God subservient to their proclamations.

He is then obligated to adhere to whatever they bind or loose.

Seems that I recall seeing an RC recently post that God is obliged to obey the pope or some such nonsense because of the binding and loosing thing, but I cannot remember exactly where it was.

Do you believe Matthew 16:19 makes God subservient to Peter?

He is then obligated to adhere to whatever they bind or loose.

Was God obligated to adhere to whatever Peter bound or loosed?

but I cannot remember exactly where it was.

That's convenient.
