The Pope didn’t say anything about who’s going to Heaven and who isn’t.

And I didn't accuse the Pope of saying that either...

He simply said that the only legitimate apostolic succession rests with the Roman Catholic Church. And in that, he is stating the simple truth. You don’t even have to be Catholic, or believe that that matters, to acknowledge that.

If you're only referring to an unbroken line of bishops beginning with the original Apostles, ok, sure. However, I'm not sure how that causes a non-Catholic to be "improper"...

Sorry if that offends anybody, but it’s the fact.

Not offended...just don't agree...

News - Peter was NOT the lead Apostle after the crucification

I think the word "improper" is an interpolation by the Daily Mail writer, not the Pope's actual word.
