And why do you think that the Catholic church’s claims to authority are valid?
Is there any other basis besides your own personal preference?
If you want to take a try at answering my question to CB feel free. Again I asked:
“Riight, and by what authority do you believe you can make this claim? Your own word?
“Or wait, let me guess you’re going to say something like ‘Not by my own authority but the Word of God as Scripture says...’, in other words a circular argument.”
I see no reason to go down a rabbit trail such as you suggest until and unless my question is answered.
