Hi, I am debating in my mind the merits of the Catholic faith vs Sola Scriptura. I understand this is a deep issue with many angles, but I hope that I can get some clarity on one specific point.
I read that Protestants believe the powers Jesus gave the Apostles and the divine inspiration given to them ended with their physical death. They point to Acts 1:22; 1 Cor. 9:1 as examples that Apostles needed to see Jesus resurrection to be considered an Apostle.
I know that Catholics believe the Church and the magisterium have authority and divine inspiration to interpret the Scripture in the present day. What scripture do Catholics have to point to that proves the powers given the Apostles by Jesus have been passed down to this day?
Thank you.
