I know someone that said this to me about the pope, and I said basically the same thing: "he's literally the pope. That comment actually makes you the 'untrue' Catholic."

Did not go well. 10/10 would recommend.

They say he's an apostate, and nothing you say will change their mind. What I recommend is not engaging in these discussions with close-minded people. No good will come of it.

We have dramatically different ideas of what is fun.

you think they know the word apostate?

[-] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I wonder if there's a term for people who protest the opinions of the pope?

I believe they're called heretics. Papal infallibility and divine representative positioning within Catholicism means disbelief in the word of the pope would basically be a renunciation of the faith.

They ain't called papists for nothin!
