You're in the realm of comment fields on NCR so you should completely at home with simpletons like me copying and pasting from websites on the fly (guilty as charged btw!). You realize also that heroes of yours such as Luther and Calvin also obdurately professed Perpetual Virginity despite their visceral hatred of hierarchy. 

So no apparitions, k. Also Church fathers are power obsessed destroyers of true Chrstianity, k. You sound...Mormon? Jehovah's Witness? They tend to break along similar lines of "Romanized, paganized, hierarchical Christianity" around the 4th century contaminating it all.

Ignatius of Antioch in 107AD talking about wherever the bishop is there also is Jesus Christ too far removed from Jesus. Requirements for Church leadership in Titus too late in the game as well (ca. 70 AD) to have dodged the hierarchy contagion? 

Just admit your idealized base community pure Christianity is an irretrievable myth, completely out of line with Israel before and RC later.
