The Pope just sets the doctrine for the church

Not some higher human authority

The current pope, I refuse to believe is legitimate

In any way

Most Catholics agree

But according to the lineage

He is

He has committed many heresies that directly conflict with past popes and the church

Unless the Cardinals selection process was rigged

Technically

Which I belihe it was

The next pope could name him a heretic

Taking him out of succession

The church will never fail, but clergy and the *human*, church have and will continue to fail

Most cardinals directly oppose the current Pope

And I do believe when it mentions *the church* in scripture

It does not relate to the apostolic church directly

But the aetherial concept of it

He excommunicated some traditional Catholic Priests and Bishops

Immaterial

As well as fired many traditional teachers

The current pope publicly stated he will retire when he replaces enough Cardinals/bishops with liberal ones

@Maksim he really said that?

rip

Communists in the 1950's joined the Catholic Church with the sole aim to undermine it

I adamantly believe they haven't left yet

Pope Benedict XVI is still the legitimate Pope

Tbh

I just wish something fantasy-like that of the show Young Pope would happen

Have you watched it?

Lmao

Yeah

I wish

unpopular opinion

john paul ii was an inadequate pope

Completely based Pope Pius XIII

Jews have infiltrated the church

That is rather obvious

if that were true then the church would side with israel on every issue

which it rarely does

Vatican II 👎🏻
