Remember we're talking about my final breath on earth. If I willfully rebuke the Roman Catholic church, according to your catechism I am not saved.
Unless there's some double-secret probation the church isn't revealing.
Can I be a member of the Roman Catholic church and not know it, even while I'm denying it on my deathbed?

The Pope is not venerated. Priests, Bishops, and even some Heads of State bow and scrape at his feet but he is treated as an "ordinary" man. A man who has as one of his titles "His Holiness".
President Bush was roundly criticized for calling him "sir". After all, that shows a lack of respect for "His Holiness". Ha!
Pope's robe cut up for 100,000 'holy relics'
Now it is possible to "venerate" this "holy relic". Sad. Sad story.
