To: Salvation; dagogo redux
The choosing of the Pope is done through the College of Cardinals at the Conclave — they are led by the Holy Spirit. Are you saying that the Holy Spirit is wrong here? That’s a sin! An unforgiveable one, to boot!! Were the cardinals led by the Holy Spirit when they elected Rodrigo Borgia (Alexander VI) - the majority of whom he bribed to get their votes and to wink at his debauchery? Alexander VI was not even the worst Pope but there were several that came before and after him. Maybe it's not an issue of thinking the Holy Spirit is wrong, but that the Roman Catholic Church is.

Suppose that the elected Popes were SUPPOSED to be in the place that they were. That is a rather interesting supposition, is it not?

(I would not believe in the Gospel, if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
