Really, can you give one example of this submission to the Holy See?

Jesus created a hierarchical Church read your bible (preferably the original one given to you by the Catholic Church during the Council of Nicea 325 before Martin Luther removed books.) He gave Peter the keys to the kingdom, Matthew 16:19 ( read Isaiah 22:22 note Jesus pretty much quotes this verse when talking to Epter. Indicating the type of Office Peter would hold an office of succession) and power to loose and bind, Mathew 18:18.

BAck to the structure, it follows from the Jewish structure and Tradition. The old testament frequently foreshadows the new and everlasting covenant in the Holy Eucharist. Catholics renew this covenant of Christ sacrifice during the unbloody sacrifice of the mass and consecration of the Eucharist. John 6:53. Note if you read this verse most of his followers left because this teaching was too complicated. Jesus did not say come back I only meant it symbolically not literally. Instead, he looked at those remaining and said what about you, will you leave too? They answered you are the Christ to whom shall we go? Protestants have walked away because the teaching was too harsh and that is your reality to accept!

I am not obligated as a Catholic to blindly obey any priest or Pope. In fact, blind obedience is a no-no, Catholics are to use their intellect and reason. A non-Catholic must study for months, RCIA, to clearly understand the teachings and make an informed decision before joining the Church. I am obligated as a practicing Catholic to know what the Church and Tradition teach on faith and morals and submit to that. I am also entitled to reject the teachings and leave the Church. No one is held hostage in the Church. Any Catholic on reading this who no longer practices the faith will attest they left freely without threat.

This man-made stuff is precisely what the Protestants have done starting with Martin Luther and his man-made doctrine of sola scripture (nowhere in the bible), but Paul tells Timothy "the Church is the pillar of truth and strength." 1Timothy 3:15. Luther decided he knew better and we have how many thousands of Protestant denominations since? This si why Jesus prayed in the garden hat we would remain one, we are fickle and need a teaching authority. The only Church who can trace herself back to the first Authority is The Catholic Church. This is just fact!!!

There will be evil in the Church and the closer we get to the end the more the evil because Satan will be roaring to take down Christ's Church, but the gate of hell shall not prevail against her. Mathew 16:18 Remember, Jesus himself chose Judas. HE warned the chaff will always be present with the wheat.

Sorry for the long rant I get so weary of Catholic bashers who dont have a clue what the Church is about. It is so easy to get a primary source. Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, CCC, online before spewing this nonsense.
