That is one of the saddest and dumbest statements I have ever read anywhere. You really need to study the "Bible" and see just how important "apostolic succession" is in your salvation or God's plan.
Seriously, institutions and people are fallible but God is not. Maybe if you love God you should change your focus to God and his word and not the Catholic Church and ritual. Your soul deserves more than blind faith in tradition and apostolic succession.... it deserves God....and in His own words.
You are blindly following an institution when God has provided you with a map of how to follow Him in His own words. He would not have done that if he wanted you to blindly follow a group of people without question. You are not a lemming, you are a man given the tools by God to question and get out of any situation or institutions that do not follow his word and yet you put an institution of fallible men before God and tell others they are heretics...what a sad joke.
Christ didn't ascend and say, "read my book!" He left us a visible Church to guide us by the power of the Holy Spirit until the end of the world. This IS God's plan. Hence the necessity of Apostolic succession. Apostolic succession precedes the Bible. No Church, no Bible.
Protestants who forsake Tradition for sola scriptura are intentionally attempting to bludgeon the Body of Christ, a very unchristian position. The rest is all rationalistic and individualistic garbage.
“You are blindly following an institution when God has provided”
You are exactly right. I belong to His Pilgrim Church on Earth. Started by the man himself. He started one church. A very visible church with a heiarchy, and a head of that Church, the bishop of Rome, the successor of Peter, the keeper of the truth, the depositor of the faith. I would suggest for the salvation of your soul you convert to His One, True, Church. The choice is yours. I’ll light and candle for you at Mass. Have a great day.
