The Pope: All you non-Catholics aren't real Christians. Your worship of God and Jesus Christ is "wounded" because you don't recognize the primacy of the Pope. It is "difficult to see how the title of 'Church' could possibly be attributed to" Protestant churches.

There you have it.

The Catholic Church has returned to the Church of the One True Way. Everyone else is wrong. The Pope said so. And because the Pope said so, the rest of us should quiver in our boots for our immortal souls, which are certainly forever stained by not kissing his ring.

And of course, he doesn't have a vested interest in feeling that way, or in wanting the rest of us to feel that way.

You know, if I were still Christian, I'd probably suffer a moment of panic, offense, or perhaps just gastrointestinal discomfort. But then hopefully I'd remember something.

This Pope is delusional and best ignored.
