You’re entitled to your own “reality”, of course. Think ye that nobody within the RCC prays to the person ya’ll call “the Holy Father”? Seems only natural to me.

I have no idea what that means. How many "realities" do you think there are? I know only truth and falsehood, and falsehood is not reality.

Christians are not entitled to bear false witness against their neighbors. For this author to pretend or imply that praying to the Pope is some sort of mainstream or acceptable Catholic practice is bearing false witness.

It's something I've never heard of, and I've been exposed to Catholics of all backgrounds. And you're completely entitled to believing anything you like as well, but it doesn't mean it's true.

No, actually no one is entitled to more than the ONE reality.

“Think ye that nobody within the RCC prays to the person ya’ll call “the Holy Father”?”

Exactly - no one in the Church - that I have ever heard of has ever prayed to the pope. Can you name anyone who does and says so?

“Seems only natural to me.”

It also apparently seems natural to you that there is more than one reality so your “natural” seems rather unnatural.

I think ye are off base there. Yea verily the truth of some becomes the stumbling block of others. It’s easier to believe what you want to believe instead of the truth.

Don’t tell Catholics what you think they believe.
