Just.... wow.....
Did you all happen to notice that Jesus did not put Judas in charge of His church?
Hey, gamecock. Another one.
“....Did you all happen to notice that Jesus did not put Judas in charge of His church?”
Of course not, he placed Peter in this position - a sinful, meek, fisherman who denied Jesus 3 times.
Notice that Jesus’s promise that the Gates of Hell would not bring down his Church hold true. All Popes, whether good but sinful, or the less than 4% bad ones, are not going to bring down the Catholic Church
If you want to hold the Catholic Church’s leader’s to higher standards then Jesus knew no man could attain, then please apply this same expectations to all other denominations. Let’s start with Protestant TV evangelists - they seem to have a half life of about 5.5 years. Or the never ending splintering Baptists, Methodists, or community churches within 5 miles of my house that keep changing names and going under because of Pastor infidelities and youth miniistry child predators.
Yeah, no kidding. Judas was a lesson on the Popes? Um, run, don’t walk away from that organization.
