[Boogieman]

“Is there ANYTHING he could do to get you to denounce him? ANYTHING?”

The conundrum for the Catholic, I think, is that this pope, no matter what he does, was lawfully selected. And according to their doctrine, that makes him the lawful successor of Peter, and the representative and voice of God on this earth. So to reject him is to reject the Catholic church, and to reject salvation.

If you really believe that kind of thing, it’s going to be a pretty significant barrier to you speaking against him, no matter what you actually think of him or what he says.

“...lawfully selected.”

False base premise.

So to reject him is to reject the Catholic church, and to reject salvation.

Absolutely not true.

But I’m not going to debate this here because the information is easily located and, also, there are many Catholics on FR who’ve explained that many, many times.

Peace be with you.
