The only Sovreign Pontiff is Jesus Christ the only mediator between man and God, the author and perfector of our faith. To call anyone else by the Pope’s various titles is blasphemy

And to that Roman Catholicism has added Mary as Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adiutrix, and Mediatrix.

But those who want to remarry and have the money or status do get anullmenta and remarry It’s not a sin if you are rich or know the right people.....you can’t deny the hypocracy on this one

But they will.

Annulment is just church sanctioned divorce and it seems that everyone else can see it but them.

That's the kind of hair splitting you get when you have grades of sin and think you can lose your salvation based on what you do.

Man is infinite ly creative in figuring out ways to get what they want and not violate the letter of the Law even when it violates the SPIRIT of the Law.

The principle is that what God has joined together, man shall not put asunder. That's the SPIRIT of the law.

The letter of the law is to not divorce your spouse, but if they can convince someone that it never was a *real* marriage in the first place, and name the breaking apart something else, viola' no sin.

How convenient........

And then they cry about how hard it is to be a Catholic cause there's so many rules to keep. Not too hard when there's an out for just about everything.

Apparently what they are missing is that it’s the sex, the consummation, that makes them one flesh, not the ceremony.

Not if they believe in the Mormon version of Jesus.

In their theology, God the Father was once a mortal man who became a God and had sex with Mary and Jesus was conceived.

Also, their Jesus is the half brother of Lucifer, who the rest of us call Satan. Lucifer is one of God’s many other children by a different wife he had sex with.

THAT Jesus can’t save anyone.

If you would like some idea why Bergoglio was not canonically elected, visit:

Also Antonio Socci explains several other reasons why Bergoglio was not elected but he writes in Italian.

Well, they don’t recognize the Trinity properly as orthodox Christians do. But then again Protestants don’t recognize the Gospel as orthodox Christian do either.

You're comparing apples to oranges.

It doesn't work.

Looks like you can’t refute Mom’s point so you resorted to spelling policing her.

What a fail.

So, in light of the mess that exists in the Vatican today, and has for a long time, the question remains, what advantage is there that Roman Catholicism has over any other person or denomination?

It seems to me that bergoglio is the chief perpetrator of the Church’s destruction. And to think that it’s not by his design also seems by now, too apocalyptic to not be believed.

So it looks like you don’t believe that the Holy Spirit guides the college of cardinals in selecting and electing the new pope either.

Is that correct?

Not necessarily.

Vatican 2 paved the way for this and from what I see, Francis is the reaping in the whirlwind, what Vatican 2 sowed in the wind.

IOW, Francis was the logical outcome and full fruition of what was put in place decades ago.

And the very fact that V2 got put into place shows that it goes back even further than that.

You don’t think the current Pope “deposed” Benedict?

I sure do.

Shooting rapid-fire vinegar-laden arrows serves no good thing and only reveals the defensiveness of the shooter.

Hate to break it to you, but Jesus Christ is God; He doesn't mediate with anyone above Him.

Annulments for some cost relatively little.
