*If the pope is capable of being a heretic* the argument stops right here, since if they're a heretic they're not a pope
I'm not overcomplicating anything, its rather simple really
how could a heretic possibly get in the seat of the pope if the selection process is divine
Can you not read, please i cant repeat myself
If he's a heretic he's not a pope
If he's a heretic and not a pope, it means that that divine selection didn't apply to him
@Lekka if they're an anti pope then it's not divine and therefore papal infallibility is maintained because it doesn't count
No
Framing it as "it doesn't count" is disingenuous as fuck
So cut it out
yes but how could he be in the POSITION/SEAT of the pope if youre a heretic
HE"S NOT
He's not in the seat of the pope if he's a heretic thats the point
because heretics cant be popes
thus they're antipopes posing as popes
how many times do i gotta repeat this
I guess until you realize we're saying the same thing with different linguistic abstractions and I'm just not using one that allows the institution to maintain it's dignity in the midst of electing people they consider heretics into the papacy
Yeah i don't see how that addresses anything
Try again maybe?
How does an anti pope rise to power?
In the way that he becomes the leader of the Catholic Church
he's elected
how
he gets voted on?
isnt the election process divine tho?
Except when it's the anti pope. Why would the Cardinals vote in the equivalent of the Antichrist into the papacy @Sentient23
They're mistaken, and deceit
They're just degenerates
That's all
what
ok pagan
yep, proving my point thanks
I proved my point that the Catholic Church has degenerated
You haven't lmao
i dont like that the head of the catholic church is a man
It's a vestigial organ left over from the Holy roman empire @Ater Votum
Aka fake Rome
ok
