I appreciate the interaction, but these questions have been answered in articles you will find here under the Roman Catholicism tag. Check them out and you will see where I am coming from, even if you don’t agree.
Kind regards,
Mike

Rome does NOT claim to be a central place of worship. It`s a strawman version of Catholic doctrine.

As far as the central authority is concerned:
Mike, do you believe that Christ founded a VISIBLE Church? Or do you profess a de-materialized conception of the Church?

To all intents and purposes, Rome DOES claim that, ie. to be a central place of worship and authority to which people should bow (in essence) and make pilgrimmages. This is not New Testament theology at all, and there is no excuse for it.

Our central authority is currently in heaven. When heaven and earth are united, the authority is still in heaven.

The earthly authority was pictured in the Bronze Altar. That was split in half (symbolically) and the eldership is now an Incense Altar before the throne – an eldership of resurrected OT martyrs and NT apostles.

OTOH is there anything intrinsically wrong with central authority? When the Church and her leaders constitute the new heavens, how many suns are there in the heaven?

Hope that helps.

Unless you know something I don’t, then I suspect that this is a caricature of Catholic doctrine.
