By the way, if you just wanted to make a point against your heretic of a Pope Francis, anointed for his position by the Bishops under the direction of the Holy Spirit, and you didn't want to debate anything else, then you should have made this a caucus thread. Weird that you even bothered to challenge me to begin with if you didn't intend to carry through with the challenge.
I can’t post a caucus thread when Luther is in the title. Francis was elected by a college of cardinals, but the Holy Ghost is punishing us Catholics with the result.
“Elected by Cardinals” is more precise than “anointed by bishops.” And certainly we’ve had less than stellar popes before. I think that his papcy, for me at least, is a challenge to docility because I find him hard to take sometimes.
