My problem is the way Catholics come off like this guy is a prophet appointed directly by God. He is a man,no more, no less. You do not see Evangelicals running around like Christ returned if we get a new pastor for our church. You don’t see Evangelicals claiming that Gods chosen has ascended to the throne of power and has with him the ability to end strife and anguish around the world.

He is the new head of a very troubled church that still holds many heretical beliefs. I have never acted different, I have always felt and spoken this way.

I speak up on these posts now because you Catholics think that this guy really was appointed by God to His voice on earth.

He wasn’t.

Besides, it took a couple of votes to figure out who the Pope would be. Do you not wonder why God had such a trouble deciding whom he He would chose to be His voice on earth?

After all, knows everything, the past, present, and future events, so why could he not decide who he would chose?

It was by prayer to the Holy Spirit by the electing cardinals for direction on who would be elected Pope.

Also in regards to the troubles that trouble the RC Church, one has to remember that other churches have their troubles too. We are living in very dark times:

Believers in the Lord all NEED to turn back to God with all their hearts.

Enough debate.
