This might be the dumbest Protestant take I’ve ever read.

Misunderstood. My bad.
This but…
Francis was a puppet and a heretic. I believe Leo was well intended, but clearly needs to elaborate further so misperceptions are avoided.

We have… You’re kind of proving the Catholic point here… Isaiah 22 isn’t just symbolism, it’s an actual office with authority that continues when one person is replaced. The “key of the house” isn’t a one-time thing, it’s a role.
Then in Matthew 16, Jesus gives Peter the keys and changes his name to Rock. That’s not random language, it’s clearly tying Peter to that same kind of authority.So the real question is… does that role end with Peter, or does it continue like it does in Isaiah 22? If the parallel means anything, it points to succession, not a one-off role.
Additionally, Luke backs this up too. In Luke 22:31–32, Jesus specifically prays for Peter and tells him to strengthen the others after he returns. He singles Peter out again, even after knowing he’ll fail. That’s not just symbolic, that’s leadership.
It’s not just limited to these things, but it’s a good starting point.

That’s just not historically accurate. King James didn’t remove books from the Bible. The 1611 King James Bible actually included those books, they were just placed in a separate section. Nothing was cut out there.
What happened later is Protestant publishers in the 1700s and 1800s started leaving those books out completely for cost and theological reasons. That wasn’t King James editing Scripture, it was later decisions by printers.
Also, the canon wasn’t decided in 1611. The Church had already recognized those books over a thousand years earlier at councils like Rome, Hippo, and Carthage. Those are the same books Catholics still have today.
So if anything, the real question is why later Protestants removed books that had been accepted for centuries… And on the “out of context” point, that goes both ways. If we’re talking context, then we have to read Scripture as a whole and how the early Church understood it, not just pull one verse and run with it.

re: Catholic Cardinal declares the Pope is perfect like Jesus

Wild that satanic forces would go after the Catholic Church huh?
This is basically a bunch of claims stacked together, but once you actually line them up with Scripture and history, they don’t hold up.
“Christ is the only mediator” yeah, absolutely. Catholics agree with that (1 Timothy 2:5). But you’re mixing up mediation with intercession. The Bible literally tells Christians to pray for each other (1 Timothy 2:1, James 5:16). When you ask someone to pray for you, you’re not replacing Christ. Same thing with the saints, it’s asking for prayer, not competing with Jesus.
“Graven images” is another common misunderstanding. The commandment is against idolatry, not making images at all. Otherwise God contradicts Himself when He commands images like the cherubim on the Ark (Exodus 25:18) or the bronze serpent (Numbers 21:8). The issue isn’t having images, it’s worshiping them as gods, which Catholics don’t do.
The whole “robes, decorations, crowns” thing doesn’t really work either. Go read the Old Testament, the worship God set up was full of vestments, gold, incense, all of it (Exodus 28, 1 Kings 6). So if that’s automatically bad, then you’re saying God designed bad worship.
“Vain repetition” in Matthew 6 isn’t about repeating prayers, it’s about empty, mindless babbling. Jesus Himself repeats prayers (Matthew 26:44), and heaven is literally described as repeating the same praise over and over (Revelation 4:8). So repetition clearly isn’t the issue.
Confession is actually one of the clearest points. Jesus gives the apostles authority to forgive sins in John 20:23, “whose sins you forgive are forgiven.” That’s not vague. And James 5:16 says to confess your sins to one another. So going to a priest isn’t replacing God, it’s using what Christ set up.
And the “pray only to God” idea ignores what Scripture shows about heaven. In Revelation 5:8, the saints are presenting prayers to God. Again, that’s intercession, not competition with God.
So the pattern here is pretty obvious to anyone with a brain in the ability of coherent thought. You’re pulling verses out on their own and running with one interpretation, even when other parts of the Bible clearly add more context. If your interpretation leads you to reject things Christians have believed since the early Church, and it clashes with other parts of Scripture, why assume your reading is the right one?

Oh gee, there’s corruption in literally everything that man is involved in? Weird.

I’m well aware there is corruption but there’s no need to make up things to fight. There’s enough of that that actually exists.

I don’t doubt that we would be in a better position right now if he had won in 2020. However, I think him losing there was a blessing in disguise. It allowed him to really figure out who the bad actors were so he could plan and weed them out slowly during this administration.
Oh, look, Protestants misrepresenting quotes again. I don’t know if you are intentionally deceitful or just retarded.
re: Gun to your head have to choose to follow one: Trump or Leo?
Posted by METAL on 4/18/26 at 8:04 am to RanchoLaPuerto
That’s not a valid question. Depends on what topic you’re talking about. Both are great men doing great things.
Both are also human and have made mistakes and will continue to.

re: Iran contradicts Trump, refuses to give up uranium
Posted by METAL on 4/17/26 at 6:23 pm to Mickey Goldmill
Bold strategy. Let’s see how it plays out for them.
I do not defend Leo’s predecessor. He was a heretic and I couldn’t stand him during his entire tenure. What I do think is happening is a wild misunderstanding of what Leo has said. Some people just outright misrepresent what he said. I’m not claiming you are doing that, but I think there’s a perception issue here.
They are clowns and know absolutely nothing about geopolitics, modern warfare, economic warfare, cyber warfare, etc. Trump has put on a master class in handling the Iranian situation.
I’m simply asking you to prove your claim. Maybe I don’t have the data that I need am wrong.
I can’t prove a negative. Please elaborate.
OK. Could you please provide examples with quotes so you guys can’t continue to be misleading?
Nope. Well aware of that one. What some of you are claiming is very different.
Please provide proof/quotes
