One thing that has been restored rather well is division. Remember " “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?". Divisions are nothing new are they? Grace and Peace, Royce Ogle Someone asked the question “What should be restored?”

I neglected to address your comment on scripture only. You apparently believe the scriptures because the Catholic church tells you to do so. In other words, you see the Bible as the word of God because the Catholic church decided it is. That places the Catholic church above the scriptures in authority. While you place the Catholic church above the Bible, I place the Bible above the Christian church. Faith comes from the Word of God, not from the proclamations of a group of mortal sinners who call themselves the leadsers of the Catholic Church. God is his own witness regarding what is His word. That is not circular logic. God is the creator and the author and the source. I don't need the Catholic church in that loop. One more thing… I neglected to address your comment on scripture only.
