Francis isn’t ‘followed’? I guess I’ve misunderstood the crowds weeping and genuflecting and revering and idolizing the Pope.

They tried that with Paul, he said ‘Don’t do that!’

I can't speak for all Catholics, but when I was a Catholic, sometime back in the last century, I certainly idolized the pope. Then I became my own pope, and started reading the scriptures myself. What a change. Now, I no longer idolize the pope, and I don't follow Paula White, Joel Osteen, Robert Schuller, Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Charles Taze Russell, Felix Manalo, Apollo C Quiboloy, to name a few.
Actually, I am not really my own pope, except I read scripture on my own, and rely on the Holy Spitit to guide me, not any evil, corrupt false religionists, and yes, there are lots of false religions out there. The false religions will remain unnamed, but we all have a pretty good idea who they are. My first clue, is watch out for those claiming theirs is the only one. Watch out for them. 😎😄😀😇😊
