It's that he didn't wield his authority in the manner you're saying.  He certainly got after some congregations to do better and he had high praise for others.  But primarily the Apostle Paul discussed the nuts and bolts of living the Christian life.  He did not occupy a Pope like office where he issued edicts and demanded subservience.  You want to put everything Christian in the most negative light possible.  Your hatred consumes you.  You only hurt yourself.</blockquote>
