“Different Popes, different ways to holiness”

There’s only One Way to “holiness/Heaven/salvation”, and it has nothing to do with a pope’s point of view. Truth isn’t variable.

True enough but the Pope IS empowered to declare those who have led us to the truth of Jesus and deserve veneration. That is a matter of Catholic Canon Law.

John 14:5 "Jesus said where I am going you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

One Way, but many different ways of living the Way. You won't do it exactly like your grandfather, your mother, your sister or your grandson. Different people have different temperaments, gifts and talents from God --- and that's a good thing.

Through, and with, and in Jesus Christ Our Lord, Who is the same yesterday, tofay and forever, Amen.

BTW, I think we've had a really good run of Popes, certainly in my lifetime. I thank God for good shepherds.
