So, once again, Matt 16:19.
Stuck in the middle with Peter.
Matthew 16:19 New International Version (NIV)
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[a] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[b] loosed in heaven.
So; what has your pope LOOSED lately?
What has he BOUND?
WHY do you NEED a pope?
