Even if not infallible in all matters, he’s supposed to be the Vicar of Christ, representing Christ to the world.

Some head of a church.

If a non-Catholic were doing these things, the Catholics would be the first to accuse that it’s typical of Protestantism and what you get for not being Catholic.

Well, they are Catholic and this is what they have. The very thing they condemn in others.

Well, guess what? It is lay Catholics who are posting these articles about Catholic apostates. We're not hiding anything.

Respectfully, the term “Catholic Church” is improperly used and understood today.

Faithful Catholics (traditional Catholics who follow all the true teachings of the Church that were extant prior to Vatican II—think SSPX) recognize that Pope Francis is the leader of the “visible” or “institutional” Church. It is often referred to as the “Conciliar Church” since it was established by and follows the teachings of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II).

That institution must be distinguished from the true Church of Jesus Christ which is believed by faithful Catholics to be the “Mystical Body of Jesus Christ.”
Prior to Vatican II there was no distinction, but as the heresy of Modernism crept into the hearts of various bishops and popes after the death of St Pope Pius X, the leaders of the visible Church were led astray.

But, like any sinners, Those men have the opportunity to return to preaching the true faith and bring the visible Church back in line with the true Church founded by Jesus Christ under St. Peter and the Apostles (the first pope and bishops).

All that being said, faithful Catholics ignore the false teachings of these Modernist leaders in Rome and around the world by celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass and following all of the true teachings of the Church.
