How do either of you call yourselves Catholic without acknowledging the Pope?
Either the Church is the bride of Christ and the Popes all lead with the assent of God, or the whole thing is just a game of smoke and mirrors using the authority of God to gain personal, temporal, power.
It has been prophesized. "Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the anti Christ" - Our Lady of LaSallette. The Third Secret. "Apostasy will start from the top" - Our Lady of Fatima 🙏💘. Pray for us.
I am not catholic, but I *do* acknowledge the pope as the legitimate ruler of the catholic church because he is. That doesn't stop bad popes from being pope, acknowledging that a pope is bad also doesn't invalidate papal infallibility (which I disagree with, but a lot of people don't understand what papal infallibility is).
The catholic church has had plenty of shitty popes and periods of abysmal overall leadership. That's kind of the reason the reformation happened (although hindsight is 20/20 and modern protestantism is much, much worse than the modern catholic church). That's kind of what happens with an institution that's 2000 years old, management isn't always perfect. And popes aren't perfect, neither are bishops, and both are subject to periods where the quality will he in decline. The church pulled itself out of the mud after reformation, and the church can do it again. The church has really only been subverted since the 60s, it's had longer periods of being under very bad and even jewy leadership. And given how close cardinal Sarah was to becoming pope, we could see the church pull out of this within our lifetimes.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
Praying for the Church, and donations have ceased from this household since Bergoglio.
