Peter could raise people from the dead

Not everyone can perform miracles

But the "legislation" powers for lack of a better term did

The Pope is still a man

but also the Vicar of Christ

Jesus said there is no middle man between everyone and Christ

There isn’t

You pray directly to Christ

I forget which verse, I'll see if I can find it - but it says that in terms of scripture that we each can interpretat what it says

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
