Except the popes who are supposed to be Christ's representatives on this earth, according to their own claims.

And these guys represent the Catholic religion and claim to be standing in Christ's stead.

There have been 267 Popes over 20 centuries, and you point out a handful who have been of questionable character, none of whom ever erred in teaching of faith and morals, yet you would follow one of THOUSANDS of protestant "denominations" and think nothing of the error in each and every one....O.K., I guess.
