Doesn't the Roman Catholic Church claim that the Pope is not just a mere man, but Christ himself, hidden under a veil of flesh. What makes you think that such a church that practices such blasphemy by making a god out of a mere man is the "True Church". When did you get this crazy idea? We don't even think of the pope as a prophet. He is known as the successor of Peter, the vicar (which is best translated as "deputy.")of Christ. His role is that of Peter, but without Peter's personal charisma. In any case, he is but a man.

When did you get this crazy idea?

It has become quite obvious to me that certain people are deluded about the Catholic Church because they want to be. The truth doesn't matter because they WANT to believe we're destined for hell and that they are so holy and enlightened or else they are just flat stupid, or God has truly closed their eyes. I, for one, am tired of it.

There are religions out there that I don't believe in but I don't have to tell lies about what they believe to refute them.

These people just want to WIN...and in their own name, not Christ's.

It is one thing that they disagree with the Catholic faith but an entirely other when they misrepresent the teaching.

I will continue to answer their slanders occasionally but only through a Catholic. I refuse to speak to any of them again.

Are you saying that no Pope, or Roman Catholic source, has ever claimed that the Pope was anything more than a mere man???

Are mere men infallible when they speak and write and pontificate on religious matters??? Are we all infallible just like the Pope???
