[QUOTE="simonT, post: 2228019, member: 164985"] It's their religion, they can make it up however they want. they will probably say that Peter, as the first pope, was given this power, and so all popes have this power. In reality it is just a hierarchical power structure to help keep the sheep at the bottom in line. But before the Protestants get all smug, they are doing exactly the same thing, rewriting the religion to suit their desires adn preconceptions. They just do it in different ways than the Catholics. This is why we have thousands of Protestant sects, all claiming that God and Jesus are just the way that they claim, and not the way that all the others claim. Protestants tend to do a lot of judging of others and saying how God wants things to be. I thought that Jesus said that only God could judge? What happened to render unto Caesar? Why have so many Protestants rewritten these verses? [/QUOTE]
