Thankfully, mercifully, my sins are not passed off to some impostor in Rome, but to Christ alone who graciously pays for everyone of them, bringing me to repentance and obedience and gratitude, by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.
You misunderstand. I didn't say you passed your sins off to the Pope, but that you passed them off on the Pope.
Clearly your sins must be the Pope's fault. Everything else bad that ever happened is.
