Word of God. Popes are mere humans who can sin and make mistakes like any other human.

Thank you for the answer.

Then what happens when your church hierarchy is demanding acceptance of sin?

I know I’m being exceptionally obnoxious here, but this isn’t something that can be ignored.

If, as you (apparently) implied, the ONLY people who can approve the salvation-granting Sacraments are the Roman priests, who are starting the train into also demanding that you approve of sin in order to GET those Sacraments, where does that leave you? Because this sounds like a literal case of damned if you do or damned if you don’t.

But if you DON’T have to submit to the Pope and the Vatican hierarchy in order to be part of the one true church, then what’s so bad about Protestants and evangelicals?

Then tell us Prots just WHY so many of you FR Catholics are bitching about the one you have now?
