This was posted by the priest TP at Carm. It is the most pitiful thing I have ever seen. Somebody needs to nicely address this with him using
scripture.
Your error is that you separate faith in Jesus from the Pope. The role of the Pope is the pass on the divine revelation of Jesus Christ. He is the pastor. To live the Catholic faith is to live the faith as Christ passed it down through his apostles, and through the body of Christ the Church.
If you say can you be saved without the Pope, it is the equivilent to saying can you be saved without the divine revelation of Jesus Christ and the faith of the apostles. They go together. It is all about faith. I don't think you understand the role of the body of Christ.
