Those faithful to Christ certainly ought not to view Rome as masters. But they should be careful not to fool themselves about how they actually ARE viewing Rome.

If servants, it looks like there has been a strong wave of serving themselves, taking hold here. This can’t be credible servanthood. Nobody can serve two masters.

Martin Luther had, in essence, a similar complaint. Rome had walked away from Christ, which is where he was determined to stay. This time, it looks like it isn’t just a dispute over doctrines, but fundamental attitudes themselves. Good grief, the idea that not all belief systems want peace is as old as the Old Testament.

You don’t seem to understand. The hierarchy are not meant to be masters they are meant to be servants.

Since Jesus Christ installed Peter as the first Pope, the Pope and others were meant to serve the faithful.
