Are Popes Infallible?? |
The easiest measure of the FALLIBILITY of the popes is all the false doctrine they made up over the millenias that did not match and still do not match even their own Bible. After all they are just men. And as men they can make mistakes.
The pope has come out and said it is not Christian to build walls and not let in all immigrants whether legal or illegal. Yet Revelation 21 shows God himself is into building walls. The new Jerusalem that is surrounded by "a WALL great and high". Also there Rev 21 shows that heaven's new Jerusalem will be extremely choosy with who is let in and who is not. So God's clear word shows that the pope is clearly wrong on this idea that Heaven has no walls and supposedly lets everyone in. Here are other church traditions/teachings created by popes down the centuries that have also been wrong.
Purgatory
Indulgences (CC 81-83) Mary the ETERNAL virgin Mary ASCENDED to Heaven Mary Mediator betwn God & men |
Made up by Pope Gregory in the 6th century
Created by Pope Urban II at the Council of Clermont (1095) early Church Fathers (Athanasius, Jerome, and Augustine) Pope Pius XII formally defined the dogma of the Assumption Pope St. Pius X (1914) himself invoked Mary as the “Reparatrix of the lost world” |

Conclusion of the Matter
From these basic doctrines of the Catholic church, established solely by popes in complete disregard to their own Catholic Scripture they are supposed to uphold, we can see the popes are not infallible. This should come as no surprise, since pope are just fallible men and not perfect ods. Even recently the popes have taught the faithful Catholics to pray more to Mary/Fatima for her guidance and salvation of the world. Scrfipture however shows that the real Mary pointed everyone to Jesus at the wedding in Cana. His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” --John 2:5 Jesus never said to revere Mary, or worship Mary, or even pray to Mary, as a way to get to him. Yet this is what is being taught by the church. What is scary is billions around the world entrust their eternal security to the doctrines of these fallible men instead of God's perfect Scripture. Mary would truly turn in her grave knowing this is all happening.
Instead of following men and even popes who are so obviously wrong and leading you away from Heaven that you really want to go, shouldn't you follow the ONLY way God set up for all men to be saved in your own Scripture, by trusting Jesus and praying to Him only?

Acts 16:31 (NRSVCE)
They answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Romans 10:9 (NRSVCE) because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. |
Won't you accept Jesus today and know that God says you are saved and will go to heaven for sure? If you'd like to, pray this prayer:
Dear Lord God. I know I am a sinner and need your gift of salvation from my sins. I BELIEVE IN JESUS, the Son of God, as my personal Savior. I believe that His death on the cross and resurrection provides forgiveness for ALL my sins past, present, & future. Please forgive all my sins and come into my heart and life. I hereby trust in Jesus FINISHED WORK alone, and NOT upon me & my "good works", as sufficient to make me right with you and fit for Heaven. Please forgive ALL my sins and come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Seal me with your Holy Spirit until the day you come to take me home. In your Son Jesus’ name. Amen.
