So you won’t submit then. I thought so.

Call me when you actually advance arguments that you believe are authoritative and we can have a substantive discussion.

“Call me when you actually advance arguments that you believe are authoritative and we can have a substantive discussion.”


How childish. Why should I put forward anything further when the entire basis of your argument is undone? If the Pope has no historical supremacy, then the argument you are here putting forward (that I ought to be in submission to SOMEbody as long as it isn’t GOD) is already refuted. You are therefore asking me to “submit” to someone I consider “authoritative,” even when the Roman Church has no “authority” according to its own Popes, whom you are in rebellion against!

But as to “who do I submit to,” I would liked to have had the opportunity to sit and learn from Ignatius, who died a Bishop appointed by one of the Apostles DIRECTLY. It would be something to hear from him what it is like to die a man, being eaten by lions. Much better than dying a Papist, who is eaten by his Pope.
