Why is there opposition to the Catholic Church and the Pope?

Truth is a personal love affair with existence, not a creed policed by priests and dogma; organized religion substitutes belief for inquiry and blocks direct contact with the living presence of the enlightened.

— Osho
According to Osho, opposition to the Catholic Church and the Pope arises because any organized religion tries to systematize the inexpressible. Truth is a personal love affair with existence, not a creed policed by priests, dogma, and institutions. Such organization substitutes belief for inquiry, imprisons the seeker in crowds, and blocks direct contact with the living presence of the enlightened.

Big churches and popes turn a private search for truth into rules to follow, so people believe instead of discovering for themselves.
