Dante, a fairly good Catholic for his day, put his pope in Hell.

Dante put Saint Celestine V in hell. He's your authority now?

It was not my point. My point was that resisting popes was not as "revolutionary" as ninenot imagined. In the past it was common for people to oppose popes who strayed even slightly from tradition. The worship of popes is a fairly modern phenomenon. Some on this site place the Pope before the faith itself and confuse him with God.
