I don't want to open up a powder keg with some on this forum but will answer you question and we'll leave it at that.
Basically, Catholics believe that the Church is the authority for the Christian and that her apostolic teachings carry equal weight to her book, the bible. Neither can cancel each other out. Catholics believe that the Church was given authority by Christ who is the head of the Church. Christ having established his Church then put men in charge of his Church to feed and tend his sheep in his earthly absence.

Hi Peace,
Thanks for answering the question.
You told me what Catholics believe and it was the answer that I figured you might give, but I wasn't sure, not being the authority on Catholic doctrine.
Now my question to you is this: Is this what you believe to be true? I'm not here to judge your thoughts, but I felt like you were to some extent quoting the party line. What's your thoughts on the matter?
