Strengths and Weaknesses - Church

    Cards (2)

    • Catholic Church
      1. Apostolic tradition and succession —> the Catholic Church does not have exclusive rights to preach Jesus' message
      2. Papal authority —> no human is infallible
      3. 2000 years of continuous teaching —> not everyone shares the same beliefs as catholics. Disputes about Jesus' words with peter and how they should be interpreted
    • Protestantism

      1. Church is servant to scripture —> no clear leadership leading to mixed opinions and ideas
      2. Church teaching should be in line with the bible —> bible is full of errors and contradictions
      3. Biblical idea that we are all priests —> people need more firm structures. Could lead to wrong message being preached
