The Role of the Pope in the Church

Jerry Walls says if the papacy has a divine origin, then all Popes would meet New Testament standard for bishops. But as he knows in his book, when Protestants argue like atheists, atheists say the same thing about the Bible. Catholic never teaches that the popes God chooses will always be moral,. Besides, God probably does not even choose the pope like he chose the judges in scripture and allows the Cardinals to elect a pope.
