If this were scripturally based you might have a point. However, as the papacy is not supported in Scripture and there are no calls to be subject to a pope in Scripture Christians are not subject to the pope.
What if you were a Christian before Scripture was compiled or if you can't read?

Well, the OT existed long before Christ died and any Christians were around. They had Scripture. It was the Old Testament, and it was that that Jesus validated as such in the Gospels as Scripture.
And if anyone would know, He would.
