The same applies to you with respect to what I write.
But the last time I checked, they had the same right as you to express their opinions and fight for their issues if they so desire.
Sowing confusion, as usual.
I'm not disputing their right to express their opinions.
I'm simply unmoved as to the gravitas of their opinions. See the difference?
Wrong. Catholicism is characterized by four marks. One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Not what any one Pope thinks about "Men" Popes can be idiots. We've had several.
Thanks.
The aim of what I wrote was not to define Catholicism.
I was simply contrasting the Catholic and Protestant positions, with respect to the Pope.
Yours is the latter.

And vice versa. Cute cycle isn't it?

Your confusions are your own issues. If you can't keep up, mention it and I'll explain things carefully to you.

I didn't say you were. I'm simply making a point that they can speak whether you think you are supposed to get excited or pay attention to them or not.

That's interesting considering you don't know who they are or why you are supposed to get excited about their views.

Maybe you should learn about the Catholic position first. You wrote what "characterizes Catholicism and Protestantism" and you did not characterize the position of Catholics regarding the Pope. You've created a "giant world babysitter" instead of the guardian of Orthodoxy. It's simply a wrong-headed position.
Yours is the latter.
Pathetic. As usual, you don't know what you're talking about. You're in this little mode of "former" and "latter" and it seems you don't care a bit about the accuracy of what you state. Here's one: There are people that should write and speak on issues because they bring the truth to the fore with their abilities. Then, there are those who abilities make utter fools of themselves.
Yours are the latter. ;) Simply put, to put your assertions to the test would be wonderful. You'd simply fail, fail, fail. It won't happen, I know, I've asked you to back up your assertions numerous times with no reply but a cowardly dance. It's all puffery unless you want to stand up to the plate. That's the difference between Matatics, Sungenis and Derksen, and Ferarra etc. They step up to the plate. It's people like Keating and The Envoy crowd and half the posters on this forum that don't have what it takes to slug through the facts of what the Church teaches and instead rely on useless,pointless and moronic accusations.
