what makes the church at Rome the ultimate authority? because they are older? because they say so? what puts the church at Rome in charge? the claim peter, but it is not the teaching of peter they center around (Christians don't have to first convert to Judaism and get circumcised then convert again to Christianity) those are Paul's teachings as per the book of romans which the only out reach to Rome/Italy (who would become the Vatican) they had from the original Apostles. until Rome had them executed. even then they basterized paul's teaching by leaving cannon open. which is how we get priest who can not marry when paul says those who restrict marriage are not of God. purgatory and paying the church for 'indulgences' to pay your way out of purgatory, when paul teaches absent from the body is to be present with the lord. if anything the evangelical movement is a push back in worship to how the bible teaches to worship God without all the catholic add ons. which is why they have an illogical paradox and we have title rather than one deity's name.
