Believe it or not the Pope doesn't represent all Catholics. Similarly Biden doesn't represent all Americans. I would think the members of the FBI trying to infiltrate traditional Catholic Masses wouldn't mind the meeting depicted. I assume the corrupt FBI plays on the same team.
Um theres no presidential infallibility there pal
Peter was the first bishop of bishops, there ave been many like him, but now we are going thru a period of really BAD popes. Personally I think the last REALLY ggo pope was Pius the X.
Originally, bishops used consensus. If they couldnt reach a consensus, they agreed to disagree.
Originally, the bishop of Rome, did NOT have veto power or sole authority to speak for the whole church.
However, that power was claimed 1400 years later when the Great Schism, for a variety of reasons, became official.
After the Great Schism, Western Christianity became a religion rather than a uniquely individual Way of Life based on a personal relationship with Christ; a relationship based on Love.
As the bible points out, "ONLY God is good". Consequently, those who take what the bible says seriously may be less surprised than those who don't when they learn that human beings and human institutions aren't "GOD good".
Rather than being shocked and/or enraged by revelations, theyre more likely to be grateful for reminders to pray for those who are falling short and may, in fact, now be in grave danger.
Personally, I thank God for His Amazing Grace. Thankfully, I'm not the only one.
I agree.
I thought having a pope that represents God on earth was one of the pillers of catholic beliefs?
I believe that's correct -if that Pope is elected legitimately. I don't know all about the Catholic Church or any other. But these days I don't assume any head of a church or state is legitimate.
as a religious freedom extremist, I am obliged to disagree with this take. love my catholics and my mormons, scientologists and freemasons. the reasons that certain religions exist aren't always clear. religion is also used as a tool by God, imo. so the cause and effect impact that a religion has may only be clear from a non-linear perspective. most institutions in the modern world are deeply corrupt, so the original intent is often obscured, along with any inherent value.
i am not even sure what you refer to yourself as, but yes i am particularly appreciative of you for the depth and accuracy of your belief systems. i don't think we disagree on a whole lot, which is surprising considering how uncommon and unrelated our beliefs are. luh yew bigly tendie
its just certain encounters i've had with these different organizations that makes me unsure what to think. I got a tip from a source I trust about the purpose of scientology that really shook what i thought i knew. there are a lot of factors at play here
edit: nnnNNNOOOOOO!!! I LUVDED YEW, TENDIE!! I LUVDED YEWWWWW
"He's controlled op".
Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Hopefully helpful feedback:
Guesses, even guesses asserted as if they are true, are still just guesses.
Emotional filters, as Q pointed out, distort ones ability to accurately see and assess data points.
Relevant? That's for each person to decide for themselves.
Ditto the bibles many warnings about pride.
