A Comparative Study on the Authenticity of Shiite Clergy Institution and That of Catholic Church

Some Small points of similarities between the institution of Catholic Church and that of Shiite have caused some to view the latter as being exposed to the same objections of the former, especially exposed to those in Middle Ages Church. This paper, relying on their original texts, has sought to compare them with regard to authenticity and, describing their similarities and differences, has rejected the view of their being identical. Though the two are similar in Divinity and connection to God through pure men, the real cases of these two teachings and the how for justification as the foundation for authenticity have been regarded as the most basic differences. Therefore, the claim of identicality in the field is not logically impartial.
