The Difference is the Catholic Church has been and always will be the Sacred Repository of Scripture. Jesus Christ himself promised us that is how it will be...Peter was Given the keys to Heaven and Earth by Christ Himself he was given the Infallibility and the Promise Jesus would protect the Church teachings from the gates of Hell until the end of time.

The Catholic Pope Francis and Bishops as well as Priest have Apostolic Succession from Jesus Christ Himself beginning on Pentecost Sunday the Protestant Churches don’t have that same TRUE succession today.

Just where are those keys by the way? How many were given out?

Is that a fact? What documentation do you have? Was this "Succession" recorded? Why don't present day Popes and Bishops have the same gifts as the original Apostles if there was some kind of succession? Has Pope Francis healed the lame or blind? Raised anybody from the dead?

If there ever was an apostolic line (and there wasn't) it got lost when your popes started passing the position on to relatives, when others sold the pope position to the highest bidder and lost when they killed each other for the position...You really think God had something to do with those events or honor those events???

So how could an intelligent, somewhat educated human being believe in the farce called apostolic succession, unless it is the powerfull influence of demons???

2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

All these and more are mere assertions. Answer the questions posed to Matthew, which i doubt he will forthrightly answer,

What is your basis for assurance that Rome is the one True infallible church?

Are you arguing that being the historical instrument and steward of Scripture means means they are the infallible interpreters of it, so that dissent from them is rebellion against God?
