My best friend is a Misionary Baptists and was raised to think that Catholics are Cannibals!! OMG!! We will ALL answer to Jesus on Judgment Day.
If by this you are asking me if I respect the authority of the Pope, the answer is no, I don't. Growing up I had to kneel in front of an archbishop, now I only bow my knee in front of the King of kings. As for your friend, I'm sorry for him/her, you could help by explaining the concept of transubstantiation.
