Catholics are not real "Christians". So they dont believe in the Pope's position or respect the Pope.
I cannot fathom telling a guy who has dedicated his life to the church though that he doesn't understand the bible. Then again that is the republican MO, if you think you know better than an expert clearly you do.
I'm going to be pedantic, but it's the exact opposite of what you wrote. Catholics are a branch of Christians, who give more importance to the role of saints and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, among other differences.
So you should actually argue that they are not really Catholics, if they don't recognize the authority of the Pope.
I had to read their comment a few times, but I think when they said "they," they were referring to people like Hannity.
Like "according to people like Hannity, Catholics are not real Christians. Therefore, people like Hannity don't believe in the Pope's position or respect the Pope"
Definitely a strange way to word it.
The pope does understand the Bible, and he knows damn well that he's misrepresenting it. That's his job (and always has been).
Read the Bible, see for yourself. If you are short on time, just read Revelation (the last book).
This dude is fucking nuts. Revelation is easily the dumbest book of the bible to recommend.
