Catholics claim the gates of hell cannot prevail against the roman church. If its leader is a heretic, then the gates of hell have prevailed.
If its leader is a heretic, then the gates of hell have prevailed.
I don’t agree that this is necessarily so. The Church is comprised of many individual units in a Communion of Faith. The Body overall survives, despite individual infectious agents occupying particular offices.
It is claimed by the vatican the "holy spirit" selects the pope through the cardinals.
So if the pope is a heretic or agent of satan, then per church tradition God put him there. To lead "His" church.
God appointed an agent of satan to lead His church.
Doesnt compute. Even in the wacky world that is catholicism.
Oh right, yeah I’m Orthodox, and do not subscribe to Papism, so I see what you are saying.
