Stubborn =
This is correct and I mostly agree with what you posted here (I crossed out the cause of much error) but this still does not answer the question - why do YOU need a pope?
If anything, what you just posted above admits that YOU do *not* need a pope at all to save your soul, which means you being a sedevacantist and criticizing the non-sedevacantists for so many years is what, a diversion? a past time? a hobby?
The above quote from you to my post here: "It is true we can save our souls without a reigning pope during periods of crisis, the Office is always there and Jesus the Head is with us if we keep to the teachings and encyclicals written by past popes, and hold to their interpretations of the teachings in the Deposit of Faith NOT changing their meaning or thinking them outdated."
You might want to clarify what you mean when your understanding from my words is obviously and deliberately twisted, isn't it true that some people save their soul during an interregnum of the Church or during periods of crisis when no one knew who the pope was. The Church teaches that even in those times we always have a HEAD, even though His Vicar is missing. God does not leave us without a HEAD. (Jesus Christ is always the Head, along with His Vicar). Someday Stubborn you will have to answer to God for deliberately twisting the words of another person to benefit yourself.
I gave you a reason on that other thread why I personally need a pope, you refuse to recognize it, even though it is Biblical and proven.
Here on this thread I have given you a second reason which is also Biblical and you insist that what I wrote proves your bolded above. Instead, you must admit that you are the one who claimed by your own words in the OP on this thread that YOU don't need a pope.
What kind of a Catholic are you anyway?
