Reflection on 10-14

I thought that Dr. Bolger's description of apostolic authority in the New Testament and today was deftly put. Apostles have the power to rebuke and bring correction (Paul argues for this), but not the power to be beyond accountability. Unfortunately, as Dr. Bolger noted, there are people claiming the role of apostle in the church today who do also insist that they not be questioned - this is a shame and an abuse of apostolic authority.
