A Defense of the Papacy: The Unyielding Power of the Church

Published: April 24, 2023

By: Bishop Johannes Richter

In these turbulent times, where rumors and falsehoods spread like wildfire, it is my sacred duty as a bishop to stand firm in the truth. There are those who claim that the Holy Father, our Pope, is losing power and control over the Church. Such claims are not only false, but they are also deeply dangerous.

The Papacy, established by Christ Himself, remains the unshakable foundation of the Church. Throughout history, the Church has faced countless challenges, yet the Pope's authority has never wavered. Those who dare to suggest otherwise, who spread lies and doubts about the Holy See, are engaging in heresy. They seek to sow division and confusion among the faithful, but we must remain vigilant and steadfast.

Let it be known: the Pope's power is not diminishing, nor will it ever. The unity of the Church under the Holy Father is as strong as ever, and any suggestion to the contrary is nothing less than a direct attack on the faith. We, the faithful, must reject these heretical claims and reaffirm our loyalty to the Pope and the teachings of the Church.

The Church has withstood the tests of time because of the divine authority vested in the Papacy. As long as we remain united under the Pope, the Church will continue to be a beacon of truth and salvation in a world beset by darkness.
