the acceptable call for the Pope is the Bishop of Rome. Peter's successors because of the fact the Bishop of Rome had to handle his responsibilities of working the Church. The call "Pope" wasn't used till a lot later (6th century), and that's a by-made of "papas" or "father" because of the fact the Pope is the "father" of the Church. (don't get this mixed up with the father, who's God. The Pope isn't worshiped or deified---cool be conscious, remarkable?---in any way. Our papal "father" refers to somebody who guides us in our faith). in fact, up till the 6th century, ALL Western bishops have been stated as "pope." And FYI, Bishops ARE interior the Bible. think of an enterprise and not utilising a frontrunner. it may be chaos! it extremely is yet one greater reason we've a Pope: to hold the Church jointly. EDIT: If what actually everyone seems to be asserting approximately Jesus being the rock on which the Church grow to be outfitted is genuine, why could he have mentioned "and" this skill that he grow to be nonetheless talking approximately Peter, and not "yet" which might exchange the undertaking to himself? EDIT: you extremely have self assurance that the 38000+ and turning out to be quantity of Protestant church homes is high quality?

The Pope would not question the authenticity of the Bible, the living Word of God. The Bible is perfect on teaching faith and morals. It is a teaching of the Church and the Pope would not go against his own Church. The Pope as well cannot teach falsly on faith and morals - papal infalibility.

I'm not Catholic anymore so what the Pope does or thinks has no impact on my faith. I question parts of The Bible, every Christian should. That is how we grow in our faith. God will reveal things to us that we don't understand through questioning, reading, praying. No one can claim to know it all, even when they've read it all. That's just my opinion.

May God Bless you.

I know quite a few people that question the validity and authenticity of the Bible and disagree with many of the teachings and still consider themselves Christian because they like how Jesus makes them feel.

Christianity isn't about truth or evidence it is about some feeling. It is completely subjective and only exists through interpretation.

Kind of like saying the inkblot really is a man sitting behind a desk.

I doubt that. He's lived most of his life according to the bible and the teachings of the Catholic church. Did you know he's actually a very sweet man? I know two people who met him when he was still a Cardinal. (only one person was Catholic, the other was atheist)

speaking of questioning the authenticity of something, T. I think the papacy itself is something to question, so I could care less if he reads even the Sunday comics. =)

Did you sit down with the Pope and hear that from his own mouth, or did you read it on the internet?

Good thing that thanks to Luther and the Protestant Reformation, millions upon millions of people stopped listening to the pope in terms of spiritual leadership.
