I will never understand Catholics who actually submit to the Pope. I don't care if that's half the point. It's batshit that a mortal man can declare that a million faithful (who are stricter adherents than the average western Caths) are doomed if they don't repent and submit to him.

That is...literally the only thing that makes them Catholic and not Protestant.
Orthodoxy says hi.
Not by a long shot no. There are many doctrinal differences and not only is papal authority a small one, it's incredibly misunderstood.
Agreed. The entire faith lost the plot a long time ago.
Respect the office more than the man. Also fuck Francis.
That’s the point. There should be no office.
There needs to be a See of Peter otherwise you're just talking some kind of Italian Orthodox(?) Church.
