“He’s the POPE.”

Yes.

“He communicates with the Holy Spirit.”

And you don’t? Seriously, he has no more of channel TO the Holy Spirit than you or I. The Holy Spirit has a special channel to him, however, in that he is ordained and He protects him when he speaks ex cathedra.

“There sould be no politics about this.”

That only will happen when everyone on the planet is dead. Jesus had to deal with politics. I don’t know why people think it would be any different on this planet after His resurrection.

“The Church is not a Democracy.”

Correct.

“The POPE is supposed to tell all of us what GOD commands.”

Well, the pope is to lead and to clarify. We already know what God commands. He doesn’t command anything new. We have known all along.

Please provide clear Biblical support of this alleged special channel to the pope.

No allegory. No appeal to the ECFs. No it looks like, feels like.

Something this important should be clear in Scripture.
