am i wrong for not giving a shit about the pope

[Haswell]

i'm not celebrating his death but i really wasn't sad about it, mostly indifferent. i won't pretend like i'm the most devout/faithful Christian either.
this is all going to sound like retardbabble (because i haven't looked into it at all) but i've never liked catholicism at all, even as a kid i thought it was weird how these people seemingly worshipped that man and Christ himself was put in the background.
also hot take: i think the pope figure concept in general is actually a really good way of controlling people. of course you have the obvious thing of how it dilutes people's connection to Christ, but imo there's another element to it. and that is, it removes the having faith concept entirely. the pope is a mere man, yes, but he is also concrete. he can tell you what to do, and with his status he can just say Christ told him to say that. i'm probably oversimplifying it by a lot but that's the basic idea to me
sorry if this was retarded im oddly jaded about this

Nope. He promoted globohomo like LGBT and mass migration. In reality, Christians should not be giving him an ounce of attention but of course they’re all crying about it on social media for good boy points.

Your modest faith exceeds the entire Catholic Church. The Trinity hates Catholics. There are no Catholics in the Heavens.

Regardless of your thoughts on the man, the role of a pope is not biblical. Matthew 23:9: "And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.”

Normies just pretend to care about famous people when they die so they can feel something. The same happened with the queen and every other celebrity

Yeah, because there is no "heaven". The bible promises soul sleep, then resurrection and eternal life in God's kingdom on earth (aka Eden but better), at no point is a spiritual afterlife ever mentioned.

No, the Hells will rule the Earth during the Tribulation. The Heavens will rule the Earth after the Tribulation. The Hells and the Heavens will both rule the Earth during Gog and Magog. The Trinity will merge the Earth and the Heavens into the Eternal Heavens after Gog and Magog.

What must we then make of the fourth chapter of First Corinthians, when Paul writes this?
>I do not write these things to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. - First Epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter 4, Verse 15
Looking at the Greek itself, this is no mistranslation. "Patera," as "father," is used in either instance.

I think it's important to recognize the distinction between titles of spiritual authority and relational metaphors. In Matthew 23:9, Jesus is warning against the kind of self-exalting religious hierarchy that had become common among the Pharisees. He’s critiquing the use of titles like “Father,” “Rabbi,” or “Teacher” when they are used to elevate oneself above others in a prideful or authoritarian way, setting up intermediaries between God and man.

Paul is using the term “father” in a relational sense, not as a title or office. He’s explaining the spiritual role he played in their conversion and development in the faith, not demanding honor or obedience in the way Jesus warned against. He even continues by urging them to imitate him, not to elevate him.

One is a warning against prideful elevation; the other is an expression of spiritual care. The difference is whether we’re pointing people to Christ or to ourselves.
