My brother and I complain about this constantly. While I get the Pope’s messaging, we are sometimes way to nice and passive. You have to know when to punch people in the mouth.

That’s not actually how Catholic teaching works. Millions of people hate the Catholic Church for what they think it is.
Catholics are not required to believe the pope is right about everything he says or does. The pope is not personally infallible. Infallibility only applies in very specific, rare circumstances when he definitively teaches on faith and morals for the whole Church, not his opinions, interviews, or even most teachings.
Catholics can respectfully disagree with prudential judgments, political takes, or non-definitive statements. That has happened throughout Church history, even with saints.
At the same time, saying “not my pope” in the sense of rejecting his legitimacy would be a problem. But recognizing he is the valid pope while disagreeing with certain things he says or does is completely within Catholic tradition.
So no, it’s not “agree with everything or you’re Protestant.” That’s a misunderstanding of both Catholicism and the papacy. As I said, millions hate the Church for what they think it is.
What makes you Catholic is being in communion with the Church Christ founded, not pretending the pope is flawless.

You are correct, the Pope isn’t God. Who told you he was?
Also, correct… The Bible says not to worship idols. You’re on a roll here.
Idolatry in the Bible is about misdirected worship. Anything can become an idol… money, power, status, even people. If it takes the place of God in your life.
You haven’t pointed out a single tenant we have violated yet so I’m not sure where you want this conversation to go.

Look… I get your points and I want all of those involved in prison for the rest of their lives. Better yet, just straight up decapitated.
However, you seem to think the sins of men are reason enough to turn away from institutions. When Jesus established His Church did you not realize Satan and demons would attack it? Why wouldn’t he try to infiltrate it and weaken it? Why wouldnt he try to attack its members to commit atrocities and spread that like a cancer? Why wouldnt he try to cause it to splinter into 30,000 denominations and weaken the unity? Why wouldnt he try to convince you the Eucharist is just a symbol?

You don’t understand nuance, theology, philosophy, the Bible or words in general…
Edited. No idea what happened there.

Neither are a ton of other things you hold to be true.

While the subject in general may be doctrine, this individual war and his opinion on it is not.

Don’t be surprised. Many protestants literally view the Catholic Church and the Pope as satanic. They’re just doing what’s right in their hearts no matter how retarded they may be.

Not sure if sarcasm.

And it’s not even close.
Valid point but it is an interesting take. As much as we like this think he is defeating the deep state Trump isn’t infallible.
You could just watch the video first.

Man. 0/2 on this post.
The Church is a beautiful representation of the Bible and what Christ left us. The horrifically flawed individuals within said Church are what you’re referring to. Did you not think Satan would attack us?

You’ll see the fullness of truth soon enough.

Fallible men making evil decisions. Doesn’t mean it’s not Christ’s Church.
