Even if the Pope were Satan incarnate, we ought not to raise up our heads against him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom. He who rebels against our Father is condemned to death, for that which we do to him we do to Christ: we honor Christ if we honor the Pope; we dishonor Christ if we dishonor the Pope.

Thanks for posting this. I always thought the Catherine of Sienna and the rest of the transubstantiation cult was a little off, and now I'm sure of it.

On the contrary, our Lord's brother said:

Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)

Who are you going to believe? Her, or James?

And here is St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 5:

[9] I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— [10] not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. [11] But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

Again, who are you going to believe? Her, or Paul?

If the Pope is a sinful man, true Christians should not associate him, and should encourage him to repent. This present Pope should repent.

No dog in this hunt, but if St. Paul’s words are taken literally, the attendance at church picnics would be awfully sparse.
