Galatians 1:8-9, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
• The Catholic Church teaches salvation by works, sacraments, and church tradition—contrary to the gospel of grace by faith alone in Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 4:5).
. :
Matthew 23:9, "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
• The Pope is called "Holy Father," a title Jesus reserves for God alone (John 17:11).
. :
Colossians 1:18, "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."
• The Pope is falsely called the “Vicar of Christ” and acts as if he holds authority over the church—usurping Christ's exclusive role.
. :
Exodus 20:4-5, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image… Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them."
• Catholicism promotes veneration of statues, Mary, and saints, which is idolatry.
. :
Mark 7:13, "Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."
• By elevating tradition, papal decrees, and councils above the Word of God, he nullified the Scriptures.

Hebrews 10:10, 12, "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God."
• The Catholic mass claims to offer Jesus again and again, which denies the finality of His one sacrifice.
. :
Mark 2:7, "Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?"
• Catholic priests and popes claim authority to absolve sin—blasphemy against God’s exclusive right.
. :
1 Corinthians 12:13, "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body..."
• The true church is the Body of Christ, composed of born again believers—not a religious institution.
. :
1 John 5:10-1, "He that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."

. :
John 3:3, "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
• The Pope trusted in sacraments, works, and a false church—not in the new birth through faith in Christ alone.
:
Unless the Pope repented and believed the true Gospel of Jesus Christ before his death, he is under God's wrath. John 3:36, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
The Bible says:
" " (Acts 5:29b). I am truly sad that the Pope didn't go to Heaven. If the Bible is true (and I believe it is), then Pope Francis went to Hell forever in his pride and sins. Contrary to the damnable teachings of Roman Catholicism, you cannot get to Heaven via good works, sacraments and faithfulness to the Catholic church. Jesus plainly warned in John 3:3 that except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
You get saved by BELIEVING ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (Acts 16:30-31). This includes receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross of Calvary 2,000 years ago as full payment for your sins, believing that Jesus was buried, but then after three days physically resurrected from the dead. This isthe Gospel (i.e., the Good News) by which all who BELIEVE IT are instantly, irrevocably and permanently saved (Romans 1:16; 1st Corinthians 15:1-6).
