Church Authority


All authority comes from God.

The Roman Catholic Church accepts the authority and infallibility of Scripture, though church tradition is exalted to a status equal or superior to Scripture.

The Reformation and its figures like Martin Luther and John Calvin combated the authority of the Church.
