As compelling as some of his messages have been, Mr. Taylor has just proven himself to be a false prophet. God would not speak of Christ’s validly-elected Vicar on Earth in such a way. Current-day Catholic prophetic words exhort us to pray for the Holy Father, that he will make decisions in accordance with the Divine Will and not be misled, in his human weakness, by subversive factions that have been undermining the Church for many decades (see Bella Dodd, et.al.). Papal infallibility is invoked on relatively rare occasions; thus, the pope is subject to being pressured and misguided just as any other person.

A coming schism within the Church is biblical, and has been spoken of by many mystics over the centuries. Catholics are to adhere to Church teachings as outlined in the Catechism. If the Holy Father deviates from Church teaching on faith and morals in a some way-not simply by means of impromptu remarks and musings-then the bishops and the faithful would be obliged to disobey him; unless and until that happens, Catholics are to respect his leadership and to prayerfully support him.
