[quote=Anonymous]OP,  I think you should go to a church where you accept the authority of the church to teach you about faith and morals.

I think you don't understand some of the Catholic doctrine that you are struggling with.  Read the sixth chapter of John's gospel to understand transubstantiation.  Jesus was exceptionally clear in his teaching on this point.  The chapter also records what could be called the first schism, as those believers who could not accept this difficult teaching from him, "went away".

Jesus pretty clearly gave the "keys to the kingdom" to Peter and obviously gave him authority to lead the church that he founded.   He also gave the apostles the authority to forgive sins (hear confessions).  Logically, he could not have intended for this authority to die out with the apostles.

But if this stuff is a bridge to far for you, I think you should find a denomination that whose authority you will accept.  Talk with your pastor about your questions and issues.  This is exactly the kind of thing he should help you with.[/quote]
