That said, Catholicism also makes some Big Claims, of course. The Eucharist really is the body and blood of Christ and not merely a symbol. And the Pope holds the keys to the Kingdom. Obviously. Literally. 😁

I mean, He LITERALLY said that it's His body and blood and that we should do this in remembrance of Him.

Everyone is cherry-picking what "literally" means, IMO, otherwise, we would all agree on everything.

I'm convinced that believing it _all_ literally is heroic virtue and only a small number of people have ever fully achieved it, but that doesn't mean that lots of other people weren't as faithful and aren't also spending eternity with Christ.

These are not things that perfectly align, or that humans can even accurately judge.

And, like, I bet the Pope takes it all completely literally, but I think he's wrong about some of it and is sometimes misinterpreting it.

Felt the opposite about the former Pope. He was more "sympatisch" for me and his writing really moves me.

I agree that the former Pope was much better. Honestly, I'm not convinced the current Pope is a true Christian, but that is between Jesus and the Pope and not my decision (probably a good thing).
