I don't understand. The pope is gods representative on earth supposedly. So since there have been evil popes, using catholic logic, they're implying that god is evil. This does not make sense.
Yahweh is without flaw, and the church is asserting they have divine power granted to them by Yahweh. This logically must mean that each pope is without flaw, but this is not the case. The more you look at it logically, the more absurd this looks I feel.
Good argument! This is the very reason why I converted. There are good and bad people in every organization.It's better to be a good person in a questionable organization, than abandon the organization to save face.
Bad popes? Oh like the heresy that benedict 16 committed BEFORE taking the office of the pope? The church knew he was a heretic and still elected him. Thus the fallibility is in the church including the pope. There is no getting around this!
@hautzeng Not at all. You are confusing "Infallibility" with "impeccability." If you are interested in what the Church teaches about this, go to our web site (catholic dot com) and use the search term "Papal Infallibility."
@hautzeng Papal infallibility means the pope is infallible in doctrinal teaching through the help of the holy spirit. it doesn't mean that the pope is sinless.
...It would have folded,it has to have The Spirit of God Behind it...I love that!

I personally don't think the pope represents Him.

You have to make the distinction between the Authority of the pope´s chair and the person. You have to watch this video
I will recomend you to read Matthew 23: 1-3, in case you continue having a lot of problem with "bad popes" (less than 1%).
Blesses

But why dose God allow the bad Pope to represent the church..
""You cant leave Peter because of Judas"
but if Judas became a pope you probably could.

@badpanda84 You asked: But why dose God allow the bad Pope to represent the church..
Why did Jesus choose Judas as one of His 12 Apostles? Was it to SHOW that He Loved the wicked also?

why would God bless the church with Alexander VI?

@xukeith33 Same reason He would send His only begotten Son into the World to die for my sins.

Why would Jesus pick Judas Knowing He was going to betray him ?
