Ummmmmmm....I'll not go there. Happy Thanksgiving.
I thought Martin Luther rectified that flawed logic 500 years ago.
Only when he speaks of faith and morals.
When he speaks of government and economics he is only speaking for himself.
the Pope...the man whose actual job description is to speak for Jesus.

Certainly there can be no doubt that that is his job, the only question is who assigned it to him.
I will. The bible says: "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timother 2:5)
We believers don't need a "Pope". This is a name of blasphemy according to Jesus. See Matthew 23:9. The terms "Father" and "Pope" (Papa) we are commanded not to use in reference to religious "superiors." There aren't any. No man stands between me and Jesus. And the only man which stands between me and God is the man Christ Jesus.
The Catholic "church" is an instrument of antichrist.
