speak solely from what the Bible says. Catholics like to twist different parts of scripture and use it to explain their own ideas. The idea of having a bureaucratic structure with a pope that controls all aspects of the church is absurd. Each church should be able to independently practice how they interpret the Bible and not what some old man says thousands of miles away in a castle.

So no pursuit of truth? Just go by “your” interpretation of the Bible? What about traditions of early Christians? Isn’t that as important as the Bible? Where in the Bible does it say only to use scripture to form truth and dogma?

Also, I’ll give you one guess at who put the Bible together and decided on which gospels/books were divinely inspired. (It was the Catholic Church)
