“If you think the Cardinals pick the right man under the guidance of the Holy Spirit every time, then what about the times when the Papacy was bought and sold under simony? Were the Cardinals correct in taking bribes? Was the winning Cardinal who became Pope through simony the choice of the Holy Spirit??”
The obvious response is that the Holy Spirit isn’t involved at all, and that’s why the Papacy changes hands with perverts, murderers, psychopaths, and, today, by effeminate relativists with sympathy for communists who deny that salvation is through Christ alone, but is open to infidels so long as they “seek the good” according to their conscience.
Well said!
I think this Pope offers Christians a great example of why a church organization that is a centralized hierarchy is so bad. All it takes is one misguided leader and all those that think they are obligated to follow are led away from the truth.
