The fish is rotting from the head.

So, whaddya do?

You want the laity to rise up and overthrow the Vatican?

THEN what?

Catholicism has two options:
By whatever means there may be FORCE the appointment of a vetted follower of Christ as Pope.
or
Eliminate the office, and — as is Scriptural — finally declare Christ as the Forever Only Legitimate Head of The Church (ref. Eph 1:22, 4:15, 5:23; Col. 1:18).

[Mrs. Don-o]

Your so-called Scriptural solution is neither Scriptural nor a solution.

What did Christ do after Peter denied Him three times? Put him down by force?

No, He restored Peter and put him back to work for the flock.

"Peter, do you love Me? Feed My lambs. Feed My lambs. Feed My sheep."

What did St. Paul do in the Book of Acts when Peter was "clearly in the wrong"? He confronted him to his face.

We need to pray for Francis so that he will get back to his job of feeding the sheep, caring for the flock.

And when he's wrong, we need to confront him to his face.
