You call the ugliness from posters an exchange? mmmmkay

There has been no ugliness on this forum.

However, from Roman Catholics referring to their own pope we have seen these quotes:

NKP_Vet: Has Bergoglio the heretic set a date yet for Luther’s canonization?

vette6387: The more appropriate question to ask this Feckless Turd in a White Suit, is how about melding Catholicism with Islam?

ebbtide: Is it because of Francis and his many heresies?

**********

Calling the pope a "feckless turd" or a heretic.....the later being an especially serious charge in Roman Catholicism, are the only examples of ungliness I have seen on this thread....and it is coming from Roman Catholics directed toward their own pope.

As you were unacquainted with Unam Sanctam, and that's understandable as many Roman Catholics don't know what their denomination truly teaches, you might be interested to know a lay Roman Catholic is not allowed to judge the First See (the pope).

I post this article from Canon Law Made Easy. It is written by a Roman Catholic canon lawyer who practices law and teaches in Rome.

Several interesting articles are available on the website.

One of the more interesting ones that upsets a number of Francis haters is this one.

Can a Pope be Removed from Office. The short answer is no.

http://canonlawmadeeasy.com/2013/01/31/pope-removed-from-office/

Canon 1404 "The First See is judged by no one." Based on that, "the short answer is that ther​e is no authority in the Church that can order or compel the Pope to resign.

Some Roman Catholics don't like to read what their own denomination teaches on these matters.

As I suggested earlier and have others....you are strongly encouraged to do additional research on Roman Catholicism.

“As I suggested earlier and have others....you are strongly encouraged to do additional research on Roman Catholicism.”

As a non-Catholic, I have an unfettered view of the Pope, not “colored” by the belief that The Catholic Church is “the only true church” as Catholics are taught to believe. Because Bergoglio is a mere man to me, I’m not bound to treat him as “special,” as you “have to do.”
I did not use the term I used lightly, but I feel that it fairly represents the behavior of Bergoglio. I see the Catholic Church as just one of many “Christian Religions” arrayed before me, some in my view better than others, but none elevated above the rest. I appreciate that you, as a believer, don’t have that luxury. The Catholic Church has had exceptional Popes in the past, but this one is a clinker, and unfortunately, you ( and the world) is stuck with him because as a “mere member” your voice is lost to a bunch of old men in a walled city in Italy.
And FWIW, as a teenager, I studied religions, and have as a consequence a fairly well informed idea of Catholicism.

Bergoglio is a heretic. Protestants love him because he acts like one of them.
