We've got a rogue Pope. Still trying to figure out how to deal with that.

First: Quit judging the man!!

Romans 14:4

Who are you to judge someone else's servant?
To their own master, servants stand or fall

Second: I know you don't think that you are your own pope (as we PROTs get bombarded with a LOT!) but can't you realize that you ARE determining which pope you will or will not follow?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Hey, hon. I'm sure you realize that for 40 year back in the Great Western Schism there were 2, and sometimes 3 simultaneous claimants for the title of Pope. Some people later recognized as saints (e.g. St. Vincent Ferrar, and he's not the only one) spent their whole adult lives backing the wrong horse.

None of this historic confusion makes it impossible to live a good and holy Catholic life. Harder, I'll grant you, but not impossible.

As the people you yourself cited said: we are talking about the *Faith* if Peter. Not some one-man oracle.

You keep making my point!
