You are kind of making my point for me.
You choose not to accept Roman Catholicism as the one, true, Church founded by Christ himself, and whose representative on Earth, the Vicar of Christ, is known as the Supreme Pontiff, or more simply, the Pope (Bishop of Rome).
By not accepting His church, your are morally free to ignore the teachings of His church. You are not bound to anything any Pope says. You don’t have to agree with any dogmata, nor with any discipline, doctrine, etc.
In short, no Catholic, no problem. Worry about what is happening in your own church, and live a happy person.
It didn't exist for several centuries after Jesus was around.

To you maybe, which is fine if you believe that, but to Christians and Jesus...no Biblical evidence.
Supreme, Vicar? Sounds like mighty fine titles but un Scriptural. Kinda like the Pharisees of old that Jesus had some pretty stern words for. They liked fancy titles and clothes too.

Thank you, but I am quite aware that it is not "His" church and that I can continue on being a born again Christian with a personal relationship with Jesus.
And even though the Catholic denomination says I have to be a part of it for salvation, I have received Jesus' Biblical salvation and am quite content to believe His words for that.
In short, no Catholic, no problem
A very true statement!
But I will still speak out when Catholicism tries to subvert the church, the true body of Christ.
