Friend I am sorry but there is no scriptural authorization for the office of "pope." I pray that God does protect this man and this is the way he finds out that the truth is not in the creeds of men but in the scriptures of our Lord.
There are only 2 positions of authority listed in scripture and they are both for roles at local congregations, elders and deacons. With elders having a list of requirements for the position in 1 Timothy 3:2
The early Christians were pretty clear on the Chair of Peter. I trust they had a clearer understanding of what exactly Christians believed as opposed to us nubs 2000 years later
The Lord says to Peter: “I say to you,” he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . .” [Mt 16:18–19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church? [Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)].
Please God, protect this brave man against all evil, so that he may become the true pope, Amen.

Jesus is the Rock, Peter a mere pebble. Jesus was referring to Peter's confession that Jesus is the Son of God, not Peter.
The scripture authorizing anything was authorized by the pope
II Timothy 3:16 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God.
God doesn't need man to authorize anything as He is the supreme ruler.
AMEN! 🙏🙌
lmao I see it coming a hundred miles away
Amen!
