Pastor Bobs do some good works. Some of them provide two of the Seven Sacraments. Many of them Baptize, “In The Name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit.”
Such a Baptism cleanses souls of original sin. That is a great good.
Many Pastor Bobs also provide the Sacrament of Marriage. That, if in accord with the rules provided by The Only Church Jesus Founded, can also be a good thing.
Pastor Bobs also provide counseling to many in need. They comfort the sick, the hurting, the addicted, the bereaved, and the dying.
The worst thing the Pastor Bobs do is keep people from the other five Sacraments that Jesus authorized The Only Church He Founded to provide. Priests in The Only Church Jesus Founded are connected, in a living link, with The Apostles. They were ordained by Jesus with the power to pass on the power to provide The Seven Sacraments.
Since the Pastor Bobs are not in a living link with the Apostles ordained by Jesus, they do not have the power to provide Absolution after a good Confession.
Similarly, the Pastor Bobs are unable transform bread and wine into Christ’s Body and Blood. Catholic priests, because of their living link with The Apostles ordained by Jesus, empowered to bring about The Miracle of Transubstantiation at each Catholic Mass. Why is that important? Those who truly seek to obey Jesus know that Catholic Communion is the only way they may follow Jesus clear instruction: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
There is no Sacrament of Holy Orders outside the living link between The Apostles and the Catholic priests and Bishops of today. It is as simple as that.
And, at the end of the day, when the soul leaves the body, The Catholic Priest is authorized to provide The Last Rites, a final cleansing to make the soul fit for Purgatory, if not Heaven, itself. Pastor Bob can’t do that, either.
Pastor Bob’s highest purpose? The best thing Pastor Bobs can do is encourage the holier people in their congregations to become Catholics as soon as they’re ready.
