Many wannbe angels condemn the pope and Catholicism.
If it were not for the Catholic church and the many popes you would have never heard of Jesus. In fact if it were up to your schism Jesus probably would be forgotten.

You are mistaken. The Catholic Church has hindered the spread of the gospel and even banned the bible at one time. The pope is not Christ just because he claims to be.
To the poster above me: My answer was not the least bit hostile. The pope does indeed claim to be Christ. The title "Vicar of Christ" refers to the Pope's claims of divine commission. http://www.bible.ca/cath-pope-outrageous-claims.htm

I'm sorry, but I think that you should re-read your history books and Biblical history. You will not only learn that the Catholic Church was founded hundreds of years after the Crucifixion of Christ, but also that people don't become Angels.
And there is more than one catholic church, so based on your reference to the Pope, I think you are thinking of the Roman Catholic Church. And while it had and has an important role in spreading the Gospel of Christ, it isn't the only entity spreading the Word, as a case in point the Apostles travels, preaching and witnessing in the early first century. And modern day Christians of all denominations preaching and evangelizing all over the world.
Cheers

Thats a highly unfair assessment and generalization of Christians. Just as there are Catholics who are not true to the faith and claim to be, there are Christians who do not understand the true meaning of living for God. To generalize all Christians like you did would be the same as me saying all Priests are child molesters, which is obviously inaccurate. The Catholic church is a beautiful and highly prestigious church that should be held in highest regard, as should any faith that is true to the Word of God. There are many faiths that claim to be of God yet do not follow biblical truths and/or build their faith around one or a few scriptures while disregarding the rest. Those are the people who should be called out. Not a whole faith based on the inappropriate actions of a few (relatively speaking).

Jesus is revealed to the world thought the Holy Spirit...not the Pope. I am not against the Pope nor do I understand the hostility of your question. Jesus said "He that is not against us is for us." Paul said, "The only thing I need to know among you is Jesus Christ and Him crucified". As long as the cross is being preached and people are being saved (or at least have the opportunity)...that is all that really matters.

The Roman Catholic Church has separated itself from the Bible, so you cant put all your faith in both.
Ill choose the Bible over a man in a pointy hat any day

Protestants who hate Catholicism are children who hate their own mother.
