The “Catholic Church” is NOT the imperfect human members.

Those members are NOT where faith and trust is to be placed.

The “Catholic Church” is comprised of the Word of God, as conveyed in Scripture and Tradition, as Tradition and oral teaching preceded the written Word.

The Pope then needs to cut off the imperfect member meaning the mammon loving bishop.

Perhaps the apostles should have written down those oral traditions and oral commands when they penned the epistles. Seems to be a huge oversight. Maybe they didn’t because they were not so important or left those traditions to local churches. When we find Paul’s letter to the Ephesians on liturgy practices it might clear things up. Until then bishops and popes can keep adding to the Scriptures at whim and declare infallibility. And when they rip off their lay folks by spending six figures to put in cabinets people can make excuses that the infallible men make fallible mistakes now and then. A wonderful self licking ice cream cone. It is like unaccountable government. We have a lot of that these days.
