ARE they in fact Biblical? Where? Joel Osteen’s shoppe? Swaggart’s? Graham’s? Within a ten mile radius of me there are easily a dozen Baptist churches, one Catholic, one Episcopalian, a few varieties of Methodist/Wesleyan, Brethren, DOC, Mennonite, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and more. Which is Biblical? None has a Pope. All have a Bible. Why are there so many?

And every Catholic agrees 100% lockstep with every other Catholic on the planet and there's no difference between any of the Catholic rites, like the EO teachings on the papacy and Mary.

Correct?

Of course including the JWs is a red herring as they have changed the content of the Bible they claim as theirs.

But the interesting thing here is how FRoman Catholics claim to cling to the Pope, and yet they revile Frank for his Socialist, progressive leanings. If a system that requires a Pope is so important, why is contempt of the Pope by FRoman Catholics tolerated by FRoman Catholics? Sounds like many Catholics are really their own Pope, IOW more Catholic than Frank..

Not biting. If you want to make a statement in aid of an argument, leading questions won’t do it.

You are comparing individuals with denominations. I dont see how the argument works. Pelosi hasn’t started her own denomination. She’s a self-deceiving Catholic.
