Catholics need to turn away from him and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ."

Contrary to what you may have been told, we Catholics do not worship the Pope. As Pope he can have his own opinion- that can be wrong- or wrong for some, right for others... but his opinions are not binding - nor are they automatically inspired as one who sits in the Chair of St. Peter - and what he may write, or say- is not binding and we can also respectfully disagree with it. But this Pope certainly knows how to get ALOT of attention.

And so there is not need for Catholics to "turn" back to Christ -as we never "turn away" from him, quite the opposite- as Christ is always within us at every Mass - as we participate in his Body, Blood and Divinity on the Altar. That is ground zero for Catholics.

Not the opinion or ideals of the Pope.

"wrong for some, right for others"???

Like what? Abortion? Sodomy?

That sounds like something the Francis or Barron would say!

If you think that required obedience is restricted to what the pope speaks ex cathedra (and do you think this means he is then inspired like Biblical writers were?), and that anything else he writes does not require submission, then you are too ignorant of Catholic teaching. Meanwhile, just where is an infallible list that has determined what magisterial level each teaching falls under, so that RCs can know what manner of submission is required?

And so there is not need for Catholics to "turn" back to Christ -as we never "turn away" from him, quite the opposite- as Christ is always within us at every Mass - as we participate in his Body, Blood and Divinity on the Altar. That is ground zero for Catholics.

Which is simply another mantra of propaganda, for the metaphysical Catholic contrivance of the Lord Supper is just one of distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels).
