I take it you approve of popes who are unregenerate reprobates who walk in darkness?

No, I don't. Why would you take it that I would? What have I said that would somehow infer that I supported that ridiculous sentiment? Oh, wait, I know -- I'm Catholic, so in your eyes, I must. (I'm guessing you missed my post requesting that you stop calling Catholics "papists". At least, in your dialogue with me, please respect my request.)

My point in bringing up Judas, being hand picked by Christ as a disciple, is to draw out the point that within any group of Christians there are going to be the reprobate -- those people who are unregenerate sinners. Within your VERY church that you attend, I would be willing to guess that there are unregenerate sinners who are slave to some or other sin at the exclusion of a right relationship with God. It is a quality of membership that is not exclusive to the Catholic Church, and so does not impugn her credibility as a whole.
