The Lord
Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV, 1 Timothy 4:10 KJV,
2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
does He talk to you?

Absolutely, and I have taken it before the congregation for affirmation.
Just like the Apostles did and their appointments... they were all subject to acceptance/affirmation of the congregation (ekklesia).
Do you have any say with the appointment of priests, bishops or cardinals?.. or is it all done behind closed doors in the absence of the congregations affirmation?

No, Church is a pagan concept.... the root of the word actually comes from Proto-Germanic *kirika.. which denoted a pagan temple.

Another anti-christ has outed themselves.
Remind me of the first time that the Holy Catholic Church referred to herself in English as "Church?" The first time, when was that again? And what word precisely has the Church actually used when referring to herself? It's a Latin word.
This is called, hoisted with your own petard.

Google: "Genetic Fallacy." That's the particular error you're committing here.
So much, therefore, for your categorically false claim.

Sure, give that a try. I have no doubt that they would take an entirely irrational, fundamentally ignorant, and mindlessly bigoted anti-Catholic such as yourself seriously.

You're a willfully ignorant bigot, I would expect nothing less.

What does latin have to do with any thing christian?
Jesus and the Apostles were Hebrew. Gods chosen People. If Apostolic Succession was such a thing... they would all be Hebrew Christians...as were ALL the original Apostles. Jesus came First to the Jews who spread the word to the Gentiles.
Any non hebrew cannot be an Apostle Pope, Cardinal, or Bishop.
No wonder why your church has killed more Jews throughout history than Hitler!
the latin word for church is ecclesia

Ekklesia is of Greek origin... specifically Athens.
The fact that latin adopted and bastardized it is of no concern since none of the New Testament was written in latin.
so what did Jesus build on this rock?

He calls people to himself... that is all it means. Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone.... not some line of Italian pedophiles.
