I really don't know how I can help you understand that within a post or even a full on discussion. Addressing what the dogma is vs Apostleship and Charismatics, I don't know what you're referring to. I'm not qualified.

Papal Authority was handed to St. Peter from Jesus. That's the root of it. From there I suppose there's weeds to wade through.

And indeed, by your original post here you wouldn't trust me if I could help you understand. Or maybe you would since I don't trust the Pope.

Oh. I see. They made up a new definition for Apostleship. Acts 1 says an Apostle had to have been a follower of Christ during His life and familiar with all His teachings and seen Him resurrected and taken up. There were Twelve. After that there are only saved Saints like you and me. No man can confer sainthood upon another.

The Church does not "confer sainthood" it recognizes it after the fact. There are millions of unknown, undeclared saints.

But again, none of them are outside the Catholic Church. Not one.
