What incentive is there for a Catholic to remain obedient to the church's teachings, if the greatest heretic receives more honor than the greatest saints?

It’s the message, not the messenger. Follow Jesus, not man. JMHO

Protestants are far more Christian than this pope ever has been.
Don’t go starting some kind of “Who is more Christian” war on FR. That isn’t Christian.

"Could Pope Francis Be a Secret Protestant?" ... bwahahaha
The REAL question is, 'Is this man a Christian?'

Francis would probably be a good fit in today's ELCA hierarchy, except he appears to give Luther more credit than those particular "Lutherans" do.

"What incentive is there for a Catholic to remain obedient to the church's teachings" If you mean the Church's authentic teachings --- what Christ teaches us through the Church --- then the objective is to serve Christ and to manifest our love for Him.
John 14:15-21
If you love me, keep my commandments.
The kicker is, this Pope is against papal teachings.
Some jokester published a parody list of Pope Francis "New" Ten Commandments. The first one was: "I am the Lord thy Pope. Thou shalt not heed strange Popes before me."

I’m more inclined to think he might become the False Prophet that will help bring the Anti Christ to power?

A secret Communist seems more likely.

Oh my gosh...even conservative Protestants who are friendly to Catholics don’t like this pope’s crap! We don’t claim him!

If he shows up at a church dinner and brings that jello salad with the little marshmallows, start worrying about him being a closet Lutheran. Otherwise, ride it out.
To: pinochet
I would say the Pope is a closet communist, not a closet protestant.

He is the Pope of mercy. He is moving the Church in a new direction - a major force for change.

This indeed was the greatest blunder of Francis and the worst ever made by recent popes. Luther was not only an heretic, he caused irreparable damage to the Catholic Church.
To: pinochet
I can tell you what he isn’t, but not what he is. He isn’t Catholic. Not even convinced he is religious or a believer in the Bible.
To: pinochet
True Catholics believe in and practice the faith even in ill times when the Holy See has itself fallen into disorder and heresy.
To: pinochet
I think he’s a secret Unitarian...
