  In theory, it should be the Holy Spirit.
  
  In practice, Christian luminaries.

  bo bian. they are humans too. Using the Christian argument, we are all fallen. You expect them to not make any mistakes?
  
  What matters should be consistency and general principles.

  you mean who? The Jews?
  
  They didn't have much of compassion and forgiveness, I suppose. They viewed legality above general principles.
  
  Jesus tried to bring them back to general principles, He even summarized the commandments for them.

  The Catholic Church: inspired by the Holy Spirit; whose Bishops have the power to bind and loose, has the power to interpret and teach scripture.
  
  It is evident that Christ did not want contradicting interpretations of His Word, therefore He set aside ONE complete source of the Truth.

  erm .. a church is not a building. In the more "extreme" definition, it is not even an organization.
  
  it depends on what you mean by 'church' lor.

  I don't think Rome specifically formed any churches, but Constantine's support certainly strengthened the church.

  Too often Protestants use the imputation of righteousness as an excuse for their wrongdoings. No wonder they won't feel the shame after a sin is commited.
  
  "Why should I be shameful? I'm already justified in the eyes of God through Christ! I have God's grace! Halleluyah!"

  Penance can take away the shame meh?
  
  Repent repent repent!
