Your original post presupposes that you understand and that you apply the scriptures correctly. I'm just asking how are you so sure you are correct.

Have you ever considered that you may be the one misunderstanding and misapplying the scriptures? I'm not saying you are, but you could be.

I trust you know that The Pope would NEVER promote "total depravity". So I expect his comments to be at odds with it
