Both the article and NYer answered your question quite well.

It is just that you appear to be incapable of understanding a straightforward Catholic response.

You have a lot in common with the stiff necked Israelites, precursor to modern-day Protestants.

Nyer posted: Perhaps I missed it. Where in the above article does it state that God speaks to the pope?

Perhaps comprehension isn't your strong suit or nyer doesn't understand how the pope get his messages.

Or he is being disingenuous.

Luke 18:9-14   Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

⁹ And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:

¹⁰ Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

¹¹ The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.

¹² I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.

¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.

¹⁴ I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

Isn't this like Sasquatch and UFOs and Leprechauns? Lots of claimed sightings but little evidence of their existence? ;-)
