Gee, this sounds familiar.
Opposing the church leadership and calling for it to return to its roots.
Almost like someone is trying to reform the church......

My question to catholics would be and still remains....against what do you measure the teachings of the pope?
What is the standard?

Luther and co. didn't reform -- they literally made up their own doctrine.
Kind of like Pope Francis.

It does sound familiar, but for a different reason than you may suspect.
We call it the Catholic Church. Not the Francis Church. Not the Claud church. Not the Luther Church. It is the Church of all the people, of all the world, and of all time.
No one person has any right to exalt his or her personal opinion over the consensus throughout time and space of the Universal Church. Not even the Pope.
So if a pope were deposed for heresy, it would be along the exact same principles that excommunicated Luther.
