No. Why do you think that? Christ had Christian followers (disciples), not Catholic followers. Catholics don’t follow Christ or his teachings, they follow the Pope.
Words have meanings. Follow does not mean worship, worship does not mean follow. Worship is what makes one Christian. I follow the law, I don't worship it.
Catholics worship Christ, as Christians do. Popes are successors of St. Peter, whom Christ himself made leader of the Apostles while he still walked the earth.
True, but the disciples did worship Christ while here. They were his “servants” and in servitude to him. They also followed him, it isn’t mutually exclusive.
Catholics and their church definitely don’t follow Christ’s teachings unless you think Christ endorses LGBT, abortion, old earth theory, and countless other ideas that mock God, Christ, and the Bible. If you don’t follow His teachings, how can you worship Him?
Can you cite the verse where the “Pope” is mentioned in the Bible? The “Pope” is a manmade construct, a deceiver, just look at the current one.
Well, now, that's what it always comes down to for Protestants, some version of sola scriptura and a denial of holy tradition with each individual as the final arbiter of interpretation.
As for your question, don't change the words. Words have meanings. I said the pope is the successor of St. Peter. Do you agree, or not, that Peter was the leader of the Apostles? Let's go from there.
He started the church.
