The temerarious comparison between Caiaphas, the high priest, and the Pope of Rome demonstrates a severe lack of understanding of the Roman Catholic Faith, and if not done in ignorance, simply bad will.

Jesus Christ did not give the keys of the kingdom of Heaven to Caiaphas; but to Peter and his successors.  These "keys" are not a little matter. From the scriptural annotations, they mean "the authority of Chair of doctrine, knowledge, judgement and discretion between true and false doctrine, the height of government, the power of making laws, of calling Councils, of the principal voice in them, of confirming them, of making Canons and wholesome degrees, of abrogating the contrary, of ordaining Bishops and Pastors or deposing and suspending them, finally the power to dispense the goods of the Church both spiritual and temporal which signification and preeminent power and authority by the words keys the Scripture expresseth in many places: namely speaking of Christ, I have the keys of death and Hell, that is, the rule.

...By which words we gather that Peter's authority is marvelous, to whom the keys, that is, the power to open and shut Heaven, is given".

This is the plenitude potentate bestowed only upon Peter (and his legitimate successors).


It does not make any sense that the very keys of Heaven are and remain so, in the hands of a heretic (and in a continuous succession!). The keys of Heaven fell into an enemy of Christ?.

Faith cannot contradict reason.

You are so diabolically perverted that you claim that people who believe in the indefectibility and overall reliability of the Magisterium and the Church's Universal Discipline "practice another religion".  Indeed, you are correct.  We practice Catholicism, and the simple fact that you characterize basic Catholicism as "another religion" proves without a shadow of a doubt that you are heretics who are outside the Church.  You are not recognizable as Catholics.  You're anathema and have in fact been anathematized by various Church decrees over the centuries.

Yeah, because the See has been vacant "through all the generations of the Church".  I guess that St. Robert Bellarmine was a heretic for speculating about this kind of scenario.
