“I seriously doubt if our understanding of submission to Christ would have a lot in common”
I’ve seen both sides, and I’d argue there is no difference between them wrt to submission to Christ
You are not arguing with me, you are arguing with yourself.
“from my perspective has NOTHING to do with the Catholic catechism or magisterium.”
The key word is from your perspective. You have built up an understanding of the Church apart from the reality. Both the Catechism and the magisterium of the Catholic church teach that submission to Christ is essential for salvation.
“What if Jesus says “depart from me, I never knew you regarding the “magisterium?’ “
I don’t believe he will because he appointed the disciples and gave them the gift of the Holy Spirit, and the authority to teach and preach the Word. The Priests and bishops of the Catholic church today have been appointed in an unbroken line from the age of the Apostles.
As I said before, enjoy your organization. I will enjoy my faith in God and my brothers and sisters in Christ, both within and without the RC organization.
Blessings in Christ!
