The pope is not God. If you are even catholic then you know as a catholic our belief is faith in our God that through divine intervention the pope
makes decisions for the catholic faith. Again through divine intervention.

"Take care that we lose not that salvation, that life and breath which thou hast given us, for thou art our shepherd, thou art our physician,
thou art our governor, thou art our husbandman, thou art finally another God on earth." Christopher Marcellus in Oration addressing Pope Julius II,
in Fifth Lateran Council, Session IV (1512), Council Edition. Colm. Agrip. 1618, (Sacrorum Conciliorum, J.D. Mansi (ed.), Vol. 32, col. 761), (also
quoted in History of the Councils, vol. XIV, col 109, by Labbe and Cossart).
"To believe that our Lord God the Pope has not the power to decree as he is decreed, is to be deemed heretical." The Gloss of Extravagantes of Pope
John XXII, Cum. Inter, title 14, chapter 4, "Ad Callem Sexti Decretalium", Column 140, Paris, 1685. (In an Antwerp edition of the Extravagantes, the
words, "Dominum Deum Nostrum Papam" (“Our Lord God the Pope”) can be found in column 153).
"...the appellation of God had been confirmed by Constantine on the Pope, who being God, cannot be judged by man." Pope Nicholas I, quoted in
History of the Councils, vol. IX, Dist.: 96, Can 7, "Satis Evidentur Decret Gratian Primer Para", by Labbe and Cossart.
But really, that isn't the one that bothers me the most.
"
Even if the Pope were Satan incarnate, we ought not to raise up our heads against him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom. He who
rebels against our Father is condemned to death, for that which we do to him we do to Christ: we honor Christ if we honor the Pope; we dishonor Christ
if we dishonor the Pope. I know very well that many defend themselves by boasting: "They are so corrupt, and work all manner of evil!" But God has
commanded that, even if the priests, the pastors, and Christ-on-earth were incarnate devils, we be obedient and subject to them, not for their sakes,
but for the sake of God, and out of obedience to Him." St. Catherine of Siena, SCS, p. 201-202, p. 222, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael
Malone, Book 5: "The Book of Obedience", Chapter 1: "There is No Salvation Without Personal Submission to the Pope").
So much for the truth setting us free huh? So free, that we should even serve Satan if the pope tells us to. You are free - to do as we tell
you!
So much for good trees not bringing for corrupted fruit.
I could really care less if some thinks they seen the virgin mary in comparison to these claims. Debunking things that most people don't even care
about - meh. Guess pointing fingers towards other is a good way of keeping people from looking at their own house.
