Well Jesus delegated His authority to the Catholic Church. Did you read and understand that part or do you selectively ignore it?

Again, you are mistaken in your prideful religion. Jesus did no such thing, as has been proven repeatedly on these religion forum threads...time and time again.

YOU ignore the clear responses by many Christians to RCC members on these threads to your own detriment while you falsely accuse others of "selectively ignoring it".

You are greatly in error about many things pertaining to the Word of God and would do well to reconsider the veracity of your chosen religion.

So calling names now because you do not understand the Word of God and the authority that he gave to the Catholic Church.
You make accusations without any documentation

So do reject Jesus as a rejection of the authority of the Catholic Church? There has been no proof as you claim. Perhaps you should read the whole chapter or ask a priest to help you understand the words.

The first Christians understood that Peter and his successors held a place of primacy in the Church and exercised authority over it. They believed that a rejection of Peter’s authority was a rejection of Christ’s authority. As the Scriptures tell us, Peter and Peter alone received the keys of the kingdom with the power to bind and loose (Matthew 16:18-19).

Accept our counsel and you will have nothing to regret. . . . If anyone disobeys the things which have been said by him [Jesus] through us, let them know that they will involve themselves in no small danger. We, however, shall be innocent of this sin and will pray with entreaty and supplication that the Creator of all may keep unharmed the number of his elect (Letter to the Corinthians 58:2, 59:1[A.D. 95]).
