Great reply, Mrs. Don-o. The only thing I would add is this:

"It is very clear. And if the Pope has not been chosen to judge what is right... WHY is he the Pope?"

The key point here is that the Pope has and does judge what is right. He is not in a position (as these evangelicals are demanding) to judge who is right (or wrong) in the eyes of God and therefore bound for heaven (or hell).

It's a distinction that, I don't know, people here seem to be deliberately missing.

Thank you for explaining this. Seeing and making distinctions is an important aspect of actually understanding things.

Let's pray for each other.
