No, that is a simple view of it. My take is this, I will only pay attention to Pope Francis “if” he calls a Church Council (i.e. Vatican III), period. Other than that, the only time I will pay attention to Pope Francis is when I hear he has passed on and the Bishop of Rome is vacant and a new Pope is to be elected.
There have been a many of great Catholic saints who challenged Popes without causing schism (not that I am anywhere near a saint). Saint Catherine of Siena comes to mind.
so you’re your own little pope? got it.
