>that explain
The Trinity can never be explained or defined with our changing and broken words. All attempts at this leave an incompleteness in the knowledge of the Complete. To truly know and comprehend the Trinity is a mystical gift from God that cannot be attained by any human merit.

Council of Trent: on Justification
>CANON I. If any one says, that man may be justified before God by his own works, whether done through the teaching of human nature, or that of the law, without the grace of God through Jesus Christ; let him be anathema […].

>CANON III. If any one says, that without the prevenient inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and without his help, man can believe, hope, love, or be penitent as he ought, so as that the grace of Justification may be bestowed upon him; let him be anathema.

>CANON IV. If any one says, that man’s free will moved and excited by God, by assenting to God exciting and calling, in no wise cooperates towards disposing and preparing itself for obtaining the grace of Justification; that it cannot refuse its consent, if it would, but that, as something inanimate, it does nothing whatever and is merely passive; let him be anathema.

>why yes I do believe St. Peter and his successors were given authority by Jesus Christ Himself to keep charge in feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17] [Matthew 16:18-20] and still retains this authority up until the present episcopate and for all ages, how could you tell?

The Catholic Church has never sold indulgences contrary to protestant propaganda. What Luther was against was the popes authority to give them out without sufficient "biblical evidence." The usual example given was simply an alms giving of money to restore a basilica. This was considered a donation not simony.

The words of Christ point toward a Universal Church. (Matthew 16:18-19)

>Jerome: “I follow no leader but Christ and join in communion with none but your blessedness [Pope Damasus I], that is, with the chair of Peter. I know that this is the rock on which the Church has been built. Whoever eats the Lamb outside this house is profane. Anyone who is not in the ark of Noah will perish when the flood prevails” (ibid., 15:2).
