Was a nice post but so factually wrong on Catholic doctrine I wouldn't know where to begin. The argument is fine but get your facts straight. I wasn't trying to defend the idea of a pope, lots of people can do it better, so much as to point out those mistakes. Believe what you will, but base your belief on accurate information. Not on myth fed to you by someone trying to convince you to follow them. (My favorite is that Catholics worship statues, always gives me a laugh.)

It's all out there, there are no Catholic secrets.

Which explains a lot.
