The new Pope has been selected

[BreadOfLife]

"Catholicism" ...became a denomination about 110 yras after Jesus was back in Heaven.
So, by then, all the Apostles were dead.
Now, you claim that your Church Fathers, are the 1st Christians, but what you mean is.......that they are the original creators of their theology, that eventually evolved into "Cult of Mary"., or "soul sleep" or "purgatory", , ect.

There were the Early Church Fathers - and there were the Apostolic Fathers, who learned from the Apostles themselves.
John’s disciple, Ignatius of Antioch, was writing at the beginning of the 2nd century – while John was STILL alive – that the Catholic Church is the Church established by Christ:

Ignatius of Antioch
Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father. Obey your clergy too as you would the apostles; give your deacons the same reverence that you would to a command of God. Make sure that no step affecting the Church is ever taken by anyone without the bishop’s sanction. The sole Eucharist you should consider valid is one that is celebrated by the bishop himself, or by some person authorized by him. Where the bishop is to be seen, there let all his people be; just as, wherever Jesus Christ is present, there is the Catholic Church.
(Letter to the Smyrneans 8:2 [A.D. 110]).

Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.
(Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 [A.D. 110]).

Taught by Ignatius, disciple of John, disciple of Jesus Christ.

More of your brain-dead nonsense . . .

You're a deceived Catholic TOOL........ @BreadOfLife , and you've lead your family into a very old cult.
You belong to a Religious man made system, that teaches that the city water supply has the power to wash sin from your heart, by getting your body wet.
So, you have to be STUPID, to not realize how stupid is the "baptismal regeneration" theology.
And while we are discussing "dumb"......... we have up next.... "wet the infants" and pretend they are going to heaven., which is followed by, .... = Send the Pope some more dead body parts, and He need more for the Vatican collection warehouse .. (RELICS).

How about "Mary flew to heaven, in her dead body"...
Uh huh, and you wont.., (but you can try).

Here is the reality check for you @BreadOfLife .

If Mary is removed from your Cult's worship and theology, then the Catholic Church, will END.

How about simply addressing my rock-solid evidence for the existence of the Catholic Church during the lifetime of the Apostle John? Why are you afraid to address this? YOU claim that it didn't exist until about the year 143 AD.
Can you show me documented evidence for this claim??

Changing the subject isn't going to get you off the hook, son . . .

Im not on a "hook" little one, as im not deceived by the "cult of mary".
You're on THEIR hook.
And as i told you.. If Mary is taken out of the Catholic Cult, then it ends.
Its ends.
Now i will walk this back, as i posted 110 yrs, vs 110 AD......so, that is a typo.

Also,

It was between 100-110 AD, that one of your church "fathers", used the term "catholic" in a letter., and he was not referring to a cult that elevates Mary, to "MOG" and so forth, as that happened Later.
So, the "cult of Mary" that you serve, that has the Pope bowing before Plastic Mary Mannequin's that can be 200 Feet High......is not the same "church" that Ignatius was describing. As He was simply describing BELIEVERS in Yeshua.. vs (Crazy) LATER Catholic Doctrine that tries to get to Jesus through Mary.

Now, this issue with "Relics" and "Dead Mary flying to heaven", and so much of "cult of mary" theology, is that its not found in any bible.
And the reason is.......that your "church" believes that the bible is an incomplete work in progress, and anything they decided later that they want to adopt as a new theory, or doctrine.....is EQUAL to the Bible, and that is the worst sin the "cult of Mary" keeps committing.

And the issue with Catholics like you, is that the Bible to you, will never be your final authority, and so, that is why you will believe anything and everything that your "church" decides is "our new doctrine".
So, this type of Blind Obedience to your particular church's teaching is the proof of "cult".

Be glad you are in '2025, as if you lived in the time of say........ Joan of Arc, or Calvin, they would have burned you, had you some significant disagreement with their "newest" and "latest" theology.
Now, they have it so dialed in, so deeply cultic....that most Catholics just bow to Mary and follow along like little blind puppies.......never questioning.

And yet...... This last Fake Pope........Francis, .... = Lots of Catholics were hoping He died sooner, as that one was devil owned and operated.
The new one, is going to have to reverse the "allow gays in the Priesthood" that Francis managed to get in, just before he died too late.

We'll See if Pope Leo follows suit, and if he does, then its going to be interesting to see if Catholics will sit there and just watch their cult turn into some "Woke" Transgendered Gay Rights Religious madness, that Francis was trying to create and unleash.

You left something out.
You left out ...

= Transubstantiation is the doctrine that during the Eucharist (also known as Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper), the bread and wine actually transform into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. .

So, once again, this is not found in Scripture, becaue Jesus already defined that taking Communion as : do this "in remembrance of Me".......its not Actually me you are eating.

This is more "cult of mary' ....man made........ religiosity.

And someone is going to post......>>"but it says to eat my flesh and drink my blood". John 6.

Well Reader........if Jesus meant that literally then He would have asked for the plate and the cup and a knife, and Jesus would have cut off some of his body and put it on the plate, , and cut his flesh and let it bleed into the cup, and passed it all around.
Did He do this?
NO !
So, we see that this is all SYMBOLIC........exactly like Water Baptism.
