“...But that’s interesting. So the Holy spirit DOESN’T guide the college of cardinals in selecting the new pope...”
He has in the past, but when the college rebels in apostasy like your father Mr. Luther, He preserves the Church without them and without the heretic they have elected. He leaves us with the work of the numerous past popes to sustain us until such time that a real pope is prepared and chosen by the Holy Spirit, much as the blessed virgin Mary was prepared and chosen.
This is interesting.
You’ve just stated that a pope and whomever elected him are NOT needed by the church.
Either He does or He doesn’t.
Your contention is one that has no merit.
Show us where in all Catholicism, that is stated that that is how the Holy Spirit works.
Prove it’s not just your own opinion..
