Here are two excellent and complimentary explanations of why I said what I said:

Papism as the Oldest Protestantism by St. Justin Popovic

Speaking of the Pope: "Papism indeed is the most radical Protestantism, because it has transferred the foundation of Christianity from the eternal God-Man to ephemeral man."https://t.co/vNoh9Wm7Sg

Acquiring the Mind of... the Church?

Who is the Church? The hierarchy? What if they deviate from the mind of Christ? The Church as a whole then?

The Apostle Paul urges, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:5). But since the Church is not a human organization, but the holy and blessed Body of Christ, therefore we too are commanded to think with the catholic mind of the Church and be animated by the life of the Church, not to do anything apart from its life and teaching.

Later:

When we speak of having an Orthodox mind, we mean chiefly that our nous is the nous of Christ, as the Apostle Paul says, or at least that we accept the experience of the saints and have communion with them. This is the way of the life of the Orthodox Tradition and the way of life of Christ’s life. The Orthodox mind is expressed by the dogmas of the Church, because, on the one hand, the dogmas express the life which the Church has and the revelation which the saints have received, and on the other hand, they lead the passionate people and the babes in Christ to unity and communion with God.

Acquiring the Mind of the Church | Our mind should be permeated by the mind of the Church. Our thought, life, mode of living, our desire, our will should be altered by the good alteration effected by the life of the Church. https://t.co/NKo8s6rz95 pic.twitter.com/ZjKkpwteGG

Living Tradition in the City: Talk by Sister Dr. Vassa Larin University of Vienna, Austria

So the point I’m actually making is that this very unfortunate thought, that somehow it’s the monastics who have the real spiritual life, and sort of waiting around for some future, more appropriate moment when I will begin the spiritual life, - this is a very damaging and unfortunate kind of supposition to have.
