Interestingly, when a Protestant or Evangelical leader fails, it’s a feeding frenzy for Catholics, where they gleefully point out that it is the major short coming of Protestantism.

Because when it’s a pope or priest, well *We’re all sinners*, *Nobody expects them to be perfect*, *Once a priest, always a priest*, etc.

They demand perfection from others that they don’t expect of themselves.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

Well said, metmom. And I might add that leads me to be very leery of and distrustful of the RCC.

    Pope Formosus was found to be wearing these gloves, while swimming in the Tiber some time between January and August 897.
