Wrong.
We are required to be in submission to the Pope.
If we mistake a heretic for the Pope yet we attempt the submission due the Pope we will be misled by his heresy. Our souls will be thus lost.
If on the other hand we believe one to be Pope and we refuse him our submission we by that very act stand condemned.
Protestant theology that flies in the face of the submission owed Peter will not aid us on judgment day.
When you have a half-hour or so, give a listen to the following refutations of The Remnant’s contributors on the necessity of knowing who is pope and or if there even is one present, and the necessity of obedience.
Utter papalotry.
For most of history, and in most places, day-to-day “submission to the Pope,” in the sense of day-to-day carrying out of daily instructions from the Pope, has been impossible. The communications technology has not existed.
I am over 60 years old. In that entire time, no Pope has ever said or commanded anything of fundamental importance that wasn’t knowable from the teaching of a long series of previous Popes.
I put it to you that you derive ego-gratification from holding a position held by only a handful of people. It makes you “smarter” and “better” than virtually the entire human race. In a word: You have discovered the pleasures of Gnosticism.
“If we mistake a heretic for the Pope yet we attempt the submission due the Pope we will be misled by his heresy. Our souls will be thus lost.”
Why is this nonsense?
1) Only an uninstructed Catholic will believe heresy merely because it is taught by the current Pope. Educated Catholics will be immune, as educated Catholics are immune to Bergoglio’s drivel. Only those who subscribe to your bizarre, slavish, papalotrous notion of the meaning of “submission to the Pope” will be led into heresy.
2) No person who is blamelessly deceived by a Pope will be damned. People are not damned for inculpable ignorance.
The people who made this object subscribe to your brand of papalotry—i.e., being subject to the whims of the Pope on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...

“We are required to be in submission to the Pope.”
Not in the Catholic Church. What weird sect do you claim?
