Since the whole system is flawed by your own admission, how can anyone believe Catholicism isn’t itself fundamentally flawed? Why even have a Pope then? This just proved the whole rigamarole about the white smoke and black smoke is a farce.
Wrong
The system is designed by God. It certainly is not flawed nor did I say that it was.
Humans are flawed.
It is everyone’s own business to find out the truth. It is readier to follow the tenets of the Church when there is leadership but one can always just go back to Jesus, the only non flawed person, and listen to what he said
