Protestants should be done with the fucking pope and the catholic church, it's kinda the whole point of being a protestant isn't it? Like if they actually gave a shit about listening to the pope they'd just be Catholics no? Shouldn't they be busy with their "personal relationship with god" and having their own individual interpretations of the bible (which most haven't read beyond cherry-picked out-of-context passages that support their worldview)?
I have my criticisms of the sect I was raised in but thank fucking god at least they didn't give a flying fuck about the pope
edit: adding more: Like if you aren't a catholic why does the pope have any special spiritual weight? Either you believe he's Gods Chosen Representative on Earth and therefore you should just be a catholic or you disagree with that and the pope is just a guy in Rome (or sometimes Avignon) with a silly hat and way too much power
