That's why the Catholics have a guy in charge who infallibly tells you how to interpret the damn thing. Instead of having every Tom, Dick and Harry have a stab at misunderstanding scripture.

It's a good thing there's always exactly one pope.
Well that's provably false.. there've been three popes[0] and zero popes happen now and then (2025[1], 2013[2], 2005, 1978..)

That was the joke.
Thanks <3
Okay, where's the "falsehoods programmers believe about ..." article for popes?
Not that that stops individual Catholics from having their own opinions anyway. It's fractal cherry picking.
