What Does the Bible Say About My Catholic Faith Runs Deep This Nonsense And Disgusting Comments From The Pope Have Me Shaken?

Scripture on My Catholic Faith Runs Deep This Nonsense And Disgusting Comments From The Pope Have Me Shaken
Matthew 23:1-3
New Testament
"Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 'The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.'"
1 Peter 2:21-23
New Testament
"To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth. When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly."
Jeremiah 23:1-4
Old Testament
"'Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!' declares the Lord. Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: 'Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done,' declares the Lord. 'I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number.'"
1 Corinthians 3:9-11
New Testament
"For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ."
Hebrews 13:8-9
New Testament
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by ceremonial foods, which are of no value to those who eat them."

Jesus invites us to come to Him when we're hurt, especially when those who claimed to lead us have let us down (Matthew 11:28).
Father, I came to faith in Your Son, not in any man—but right now, a leader I trusted has deeply disappointed me. The shaking I feel is real. I need to remember that my foundation is Christ alone, not the character of His messengers. Help me grieve this without losing sight of His unwavering truth. Show me how to stay faithful when faithfulness in others fails. And give me the wisdom to know the difference between His truth and anyone's distortion of it. In Jesus' name, Amen.
