But he has been a bad steward and a failure as a pope.

If you were a Roman Catholic, you would know that it is not your place to judge the Holy Father's exercise of his ministry. You are ultimately no different than Archbishop Weakland in this.

Blind faith in a mortal man is a quick trip to damnation. We do not put so much blind trust in our Patriarchs...they are holy men, but they are still mortals. Something good for you to remember: ANY one man is fallable and corruptable...the Church (in this case I refer to the Orthodox) is uncorruptable as a whole. This is exactly one of the reasons we will never accept the Papal "infallibility".
