Default Re: Holy Power

That's the main difference between Catholicism and Protestantism. In Catholicism you need priesthood to mediate between you and your God. In Protestantism you have a direct link to God, hence the blessings you receive come directly from God. The problem with applying Catholic model to this situation is that this God is directly present, hence no mediation of catholic level required. You don't need a Pope if you have a life God walking in your midst. So the expectation will be of blessing coming directly from God. It's like Jesus asking his apostles to perform miracles, instead of him, because he hasn't ascended yet
