>> The bishops consider an issue and advise the Pope, who with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, then speaks on the issue. It functions today as it always has:<<

You don’t say! So it’s the head dog who “with the guidance of the Holy Spirit makes the pronouncement and “speaks on the issue” ey? Well lets just take that passage you sighted and see who actually must have been the “pope” of the Apostles.

Acts 15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: 17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. 18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

Well, well what have we here? All the apostles discussed the matter but it was James, James mind you NOT Peter who was the “head dog”, the pope as Catholics are want to say. “As it always has” ey? You guys are just too funny.

"Well, well what have we here?"

You are completely wrong on this, but I do pray for you often.

Peace and blessings.
