And that verse is so taken out of context by the Catholics in a vain bid to claim ultimate authority over believers and compel submission to it.

The context is simply for settling disputes between believers, not giving the governing body of any church ultimate authority to tell God how it’s going to be.

Yes. Like starting your idiotic "reformation" and forgetting what the Holy Scripture teaches. That was a "dispute between believers" till, of course, the Portestants stopped being believers altogether.
