“Why did Jesus select Judas as one of His twelve apostles?

That Scripture and the will of God would be fulfilled.

So says someone a bit more attuned to the logical consequence of your own statements than yourself, apparently.

“Is Pope Francis a Liberal Protestant”?

More like just a Liberal. You Catholics have my sincere sympathy.

I’ve long felt that the Orthodox were much closer to being on the right track, but having anything to do with the WCC throws that into doubt.

Absolutely. But the real point I was trying to make is that there well may be, and here comes that word again!, 'collusion', between the two (Pope Francis and the Russians), with the Communist-loving World Council of Churches the organizing go-between, especially considering the Marxist leanings of this current pope.

Yet the prots take delight in using him as tool to attack the traditional Catholic Church, as Bergoglio does also.

Yeah...because you see so many articles from all of us non-Catholics calling out the pope. /sarc

You on the other hand have made it a daily habit is seems.

You and verga would have a heck of a chess match.

He’s clearly not a Protestant, or he would lead the Roman church out of all the false teachings that accrued over the centuries.

Sure he is (n.b. there are no false teachings in the Catholic Church). He's trying to do it now, but the Holy Ghost will never allow him to succeed.

Luther tried to do the same thing; and now the Francis is celebrating the heretic's revolution with a Vatican stamp.

Only a protestant would issue a Vatican stamp celebrating Luther's revolt.

State Church is as State Church does.

True, and this state-run church is run by the KGB/FSB Putin government. It's no mystery why they want to shut down any and all competition.

I think he is a communist supporter without an ounce of belief in God.

“Only a protestant would issue a Vatican stamp celebrating Luther’s revolt.”

Just an assertion of yours. No facts.

I’ve never met a Roman more rebellious toward his leader than you.

It seems you are more like a Protestant than Francis!

Luther only posted 95 statements. You’ve posted thousands.

Every man, his own pope!

Well....we could have a whole separate thread on that.

He's trying to do it now, but the Holy Ghost will never allow him to succeed.

So to metmom's question to you....was the selection of the pope guided by men or the Holy Spirit?

Chuckle. Only in your own mind would any utterance by Steelfish be deemed “rambling”.

Steelfish just ash canned your entire premise, but you wholly and comically missed it when it whizzed by.

Scripture also says that Christ founded His Church on St. Peter which the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

“Scripture also says that Christ founded His Church on St. Peter which the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

Again, an assertion with no facts ebb.

Not in Greek.
Just in Rome.

Even the orthodox churches know your statement is false.

The Catholic church has opposed Marxism in authority. Many priests and bishops disagree. This pope is a global marxist.
Take a look at “liberation theology” to see where he comes from.

“He’s not Catholic. He’s not Christian. What he is the false pope.”

Sounds like a PCUSA preacher.

“However, when the Pope speaks ex cathedra, his formal pronouncement of Catholic teachings and taken in conjunction with the Bishops and the College of Cardinals, he speaks on behalf of the Church founded by Christ. The one and only true Church.

Christ founded an assembly. Not a church.

Your claim is Not found in Scripture.

Your claim is not believed by any church outside Rome.
