Why would you be joyful for people converting to Catholicism, an institution that you admit is run by men, therefore NOT run by God? Your pope is now in Mexico trying to redeem your belief system because many in Mexico are leaving Catholicism for Christianity.Fixed your quote from me, it was too small in your post.
Plus you like colors so much, thought I would emphasize that Catholicism is run by men as stated by you.
The misinterpretation you like has been debunked many many times here at FR and even some respected Catholic scholors agree that it it Jesus that is the Rock that the church is built upon.
Peter was not a pope, popes didn't start for a couple of hundred years and Peter and others were ex post factoed in.
A giant deception by what is laughingly called the OTC
The Pope (Latin: papa from Greek: ÏάÏÏÎ±Ï pappas, a child's word for "father")is the Bishop of Rome and the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church.
The primacy of the Roman bishop is largely derived from his role as the traditional successor to Saint Peter, to whom Jesus is supposed to have given the keys of Heaven and the powers of "binding and loosing", naming him as the "rock" upon which the church would be built.
Perhaps you learned about the Catholic Church from someone who didn't quite know all the facts.
