If that’s what you think, why do you continue to bite?
Because the claim is patently false and if nobody challenges it, then people are going to think it’s true.
It’s not.
Frank is a Catholic. Maybe he ACTS like a liberal Prot, but he is the pope of the Catholic church, selected and elected according to official Catholic procedure by the College of Cardinals.
That makes him both Catholic and yours, like him or not, until such time as some similar official action is taken to de-pope him.
Until that time, Unum Sanctum demands and requires you all to be in submission to your pope. Not a choice for you. Especially if the pope who decreed it is an official, valid pope.
If Frank is who the College of Cardinals decides is your pope, that’s THEIR decision to make, not yours. Your only option as Catholics, is to submit to him by ex cathedra decree.
If that’s what you think, why do you continue to bite?

I can’t speak for mm, but in my case, it’s because it’s fun!
And because I care about the souls of the Catholics who post here, and so I’m gonna bite, prod, poke, cajole, explain, and even counter-insult in order to get them to defend their faith in the face of reason and Scripture, just like I would want other people to do for me.
Because how true can a faith be that can’t stand up to reason and Scripture? But if it can not only stand up but be one with reason and Scripture, then it comes out of the fire stronger than before.
Many Roman Catholics view this as Catholic hatred.
. Not true. If we didn't care or attempt to correct the error that would be error on our part. We have the example of Paul and the other disciples engaging in these very kind of discussions. Plus,muon learn a lot when you're in these discussions. I know I have.
