Catholic church history tells a different story.
Unum Sanctum

“ This authority, however, (though it has been given to man and is exercised by man), is not human but rather divine, granted to Peter by a divine word and reaffirmed to him (Peter) and his successors by the One Whom Peter confessed, the Lord saying to Peter himself, ‘Whatsoever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound also in Heaven‘ etc., [Mt 16:19]. Therefore whoever resists this power thus ordained by God, resists the ordinance of God [Rom 13:2], unless he invent like Manicheus two beginnings, which is false and judged by us heretical, since according to the testimony of Moses, it is not in the beginnings but in the beginning that God created heaven and earth [Gen 1:1]. Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.”
Your church.
Your duly elected pope to submit to like it or not.
“..we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff...”
They (human men) can “define” all they want.
I’ll take Acts 2:37-38 for $500, Alex.
Catholics are obliged to follow only on matters of Faith and Christ’s teachings that have been passed down to us by the apostles and their successors.
Obviously, we do not control the thoughts or actions of individuals that stray from Christ like Luther, Calvin, German Bishops (Cardinal Marx), Fr Martin (Jesuit) et al.
CCC 2470 The disciple of Christ consents to “live in the truth,” that is the simplicity of a life inconformity with the Lord’s example, abiding in His Truth. “if we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth.”
We respect the office of the Pope and understand that Francis may be holy and a sinner and we pray that our Pope will lead all to Christ and eternal life with God.
Who claims Bergoglio was duly elected? A bunch of bitter ex-catholics?
