Yes, by all means obey the Pope, like when they had several Popes at one time - you had to obey them all -right? Or not - did you have to discern which was the true Pope and follow the one that taught the truth? Hmmmm - seems a bit more complicated then just blind obedience. Since there was a real time and place that the simple postulation did not work - it would suggest that a time could occur when a claimant was not valid - life is so complicated. So much easier to blindly follow your local bishop (even if he is a homo) - or worse a pedophile - all those who seek to unseat such bishops are just so disobedient - aren't they? But what do such wolves in sheep's clothing deserve? What did the merchants despoiling the temple deserve - and get rewarded with from Christ's hand? But don't pick up the sword - WHEN GOD's ONLY SON TELLS YOU NOT TO - otherwise it is DEPOSIT of FAITH that sustains us - and we must oppose those who would despoil it.

I don't see several Popes. Do you? Are you suggesting that there were no scandals pre vatican II? Are you suggesting that what Martin Luther did was right and that actually from that moment he (and presumably the Lutherans) became the one true Church?

Wake Up!! Christ warns us of people who will try to lead us astray. He tells us to be like little children (not glory in our own intellect) and that the gates of Hell will not prevail against My Church. Look at the Pope's credentials. do you know of anyone with better credentials to claim to be the Pope? If not, are you suggesting that the gates of Hell have prevailed against the Church? (and therefore Jesus was wrong?)
