This thing with the "postman delivering a cousin's letter" is a false equivalency.
The Catholic Church claims its authority by way of "inheritance" from one of the letter writers, i.e. the Apostle Peter.
They aren't just delivering the letter, they are reading it for themselves and deciding what to tell us about what is in the letter. The first point they make before explaining our own letter to us is that we have to obey them and take anything they say about the letter at face value.
They are perfectly content if we never read the letter for ourselves. As long as we tip the postman--who graciously took time out of his busy schedule of rape, murder and robbery to drop it off in our mailbox--they will keep the main Post Office in gilt and fancy statues by telling us to send money to our "cousin" who doesn't need it.
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
