It is Christ. And form Christ comes the Church

Apostolic Christianity exists since day 1, unlike protestant denominations that are traced to some random American, vow-breaking monk, or divorced king

Haha

Yeah but you don't understand by agreeing on scriptural interpretation at a counsel is not infallible

Otherwise people wouldn't disagree

The authority of an acumenical council is infallible

People disagree because people break away

Just because you had the most people on your side and could physically remove them by pain of torture or death definitely sounds like infallible apostolic succession to me. Good one.

Or you physically remove them and call them heretics.

Through democracy

It's not about majority

Ok

It has never been about majorities, which is why there is a hierarchy with a pope at the end

So how did a counsel agree

Heretics have been the majority at times

The council has a result that has to be approved by the Pope

It hasn't always been with a pope at the head

It's why the Orthodox have issue with the Catholic Church

The word of the Pope has always been final. If the Pope decrees that a council is not valid, it is not valid

And I will call them out on that

Who appoints a pope?

You can check the details on how new popes come to be

But the moment someone is Pope, he has authority

No, please don't be coy.

How does a pope become pope

I don't know the exact details about how the Pope is chosen, they are irrelevant here

No it's not

Because if they're chosen by a council or by bishops my point still holds

They are, because authority does not come from a bloodline, but from God

It's literally because of democracy

If they are chosen by a council, there is no voting by any majority of population

Otherwise, you could as well sya that there is a democracy where the population is a single person

Well that's essentially what I am saying. Is that the pope is infallible because you say he's infallible.

The papacy is a lifelong title. The pope does not have to follow any wishes of the majority

That's not an argument

He's infallible because the Church is divine, created by Christ and the Gates of Hell will not prevail

What part of that is not an argument?

The circular part.

What circular part? The original is well established with the creation of the Church by Christ
