Actaully it says "will have been bound in heaven". The apostles could only declare what had been declared by God already. God never gave anyone the right or power to make the rules.

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.......The apostles could only declare what was ALREADY THE TRUTH....Now, the apostles, of course did not know every truth that God did....but He promised that what they declared to be the truth, would be OR HE WOULD NOT INSPIRE THEM to declare it.

In short, He declared that the Catholic church would be infallible in matters of faith and morals because He would not allow her to err.....

Thanks,CB you expressed that very well!!!

Oh goodness. What about the Catholic Reformation (or you might call it the Counter-Reformation)?

What the heck was that all about?

Try reading the first three chaps of Rev and you will realize how impossibly wrong your comment is.

I've heard; somewhere; that these churches were Catholic...
