Pope’s think they are infallible. None of them are in or will see heaven. So I don’t think of them at all.

Pretty strong statement that none are in or will see Heaven.

I cannot argue with a point of view that is beyond knowledge, and even idiots are free to make declarative statements that are beyond both belief and/or proof.

You have proven yourself to be beyond reason.

After Francis, Pope Leo XIV has been a pleasant surprise. Once again, we have a Pope who is actually a Catholic, not a politician first and foremost.

May not agree with this Pope in every particular, but like the bishop on the chessboard, he moves in oblique direction, arriving at a given point only after several moves.

No Pope considers himself infallible on most matters.

Papal infallibility is purely on doctrinal matters when spoken from the authority of Peter. In practice this is used as a tie breaker and final earthly decision making after council has deliberated under the guidance of the Holy Spirit

Papal infallibility is claimed for ex cathedra matters, only. There have been few examples of this. He is fallible in absolutely every other way according to Catholic doctrine. Understand what you are criticizing before criticizing it.

Well, I know no one’s heart. That’s only GOD’s area. I can only see what a human sees. I agree some of your statement, and other I just don’t know.
