“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.
My apologies for considering you were RC.
