To: ebb tide

How about kicking to the curb all humans who have the audacity to insert themselves between God and mankind? Then nobody would have to worry their little heads about stuff like Francis.

Do you mean all priests, pastors, ministers, etc.?

Just you and your Bible, without any teachers or guidance?

Yet the Ethiopian eunuch told Philip that he needed someone to teach him what Isaiah meant.

That would be any number of Baptist, mega-church etc. protestant "pastors" or the founders of Protestant and Protestant derived religions like the Seventh Day Adventists, Christian Scientists, Jehovah's witnesses, Mormons and Dispensationalists

The bishops even the bishop of Rome isn't "inserted between God and mankind" - that's a lie that you've been told about the Church

For a Catholic (or Orthodox or Copt or Assyrian), God is directly present at every worship - in the form of the Eucharist, the True Body and Blood of Christ -- as Jesus said in Matthew 26:26 this is my body.” - not "this is in the symbol of my Body" nor "this is bread but assume it to be my body" but clearly "this IS My Body"
