First let me say that this is just something for discussion, not neccesarily my beliefs, but something I would like to put out there for discussion.
God is all powerful, omnipotent, can never be wrong. His word is always true and if he says it, it is.
God made a pact with Peter, the rock on which he built his church, the first pope, he said what you hold true on earth I will hold true in heaven. According to catholic dogma that pact has been passed down through the ages via the pope.
Think about how important that pact is, because here is where God gave up being all powerful, whatever rule the pope makes on earth regarding our souls God is oath bound to follow. He has no choice in the matter because his word is the beginning and the end, it cannot be wrong. If God does not follow the decree of the pope he breaks his pact, and he has broken his word.
So to summarize if the pope decrees that anyone owning a cat is going to hell God must adhere to it because what the pope holds true on earth, God is honor bound to hold true in heaven.
The reason I got to thinking about this is the new 7 social sins. I find some of them to be a little absurd and dont consider most to be hell worthy offenses, but if what the bible says is true God will honor those rules. Either he does meaning the pope has the power to control Gods decision, or he doesnt and he breaks his word.
Please I would love to hear everyones thoughts on this, I thought it to be a good discussion thread.
