[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

While Protestants look to the scriptures for authority on faith-based issues, Catholics look to the authority of their visible church organization.

Catholics don't follow Luther's tradition of "the Bible ALONE" as the sole rule of faith, because it is a human tradition.

There is no record of Luther's teaching in Scripture, Tradition, Church Teaching, or Church history, prior to Luther.

OTOH, Jesus established a Church which the "gates of hell" would not prevail against, instructing us to "listen to the church," and that those who fail to listen to the church should be treated "like a pagan or tax collector."

You're free to follow Luther's tradition, but don't expect Catholics to.

OTOH, Jesus established a Church which the "gates of hell" would not prevail against, instructing us to "listen to the church," and that those who fail to listen to the church should be treated "like a pagan or tax collector."

And Jesus said to 'call no man father' so we can be sure it is not your religion that is being referred to when Jesus mentions 'church'...

“instructing us to “listen to the church,” and that those who fail to listen to the church should be treated “like a pagan or tax collector.””

Please read the context of this verse. You bandy it around like it is a universal statement. It is simply about church discipline between two believers who have a disagreement.
