The funny part is the ORIGINAL christian teachings are all but lost and diluted. Christians for the first 350 years never had Priests or a pope, cardinals and bishops, they had community get togethers where they shared food and ate. "agape meal"(love feast), Its not just fact that the translation is wrong/not properly done, it is the fact that the Roman empire took christianity and morphed it to a Roman vision. Organized and formal, something orginal Christians never were.[/quote:d41cc]
"Shared food and ate": That's symbolized in the breaking of the bread where it brings everyone together in the Eucharist.
"There are neve popes or priests.": Peter was the first pope of the church. Priests are the "traveling preachers."
