I have a different perspective regarding the Pope and the Catholic Church. In my understanding, True Christians solely follow Yeshua and the Holy Bible as their Guide and not other figures such as Mary or deceased individuals.
Personally, I believe that it is not yet the time for people to ascend to heaven, except for Enoch and Elijah as recorded by the Bible. As for the Pope you mentioned, it is my opinion that their final judgment is yet to come.
Considering certain actions that may be seen as blasphemous towards God's name, I dont think they have submitted to God. I have doubts about their potential inheritance of heaven.
