The term pope is not mentioned in The Bible but the establishment of the office of pope is in Chapter 16 of Saint Matthew:

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Why does the Church of Christ ignore scriptures that don't fit their traditions?

To ignore things that may affect their faith.That makes no sense. They are ignoring God's words. There are many scriptures in the Bible that say true Christians are not under the law at all...no law of any kind. The church claims these scriptures mean the opposite to what they say, and will not discuss them. The church has its traditions, and will uphold them at all costs, even over the Bible..Catholic AnswerIf you are referring to the Catholic Church, Catholics believe that the Catholic Church is what Our Blessed Lord founded to save all men throughout all time. That CHURCH wrote the Scriptures (The New Testament) throughout the first hundred years after Our Blessed Lord left His Church in charge. Then in the late fourth century, the Catholic Church, through Her pope and Bishops drew up the canon of Scripture. The Catholic Church CANNOT ignore any Scriptures, nor, for that matter, can any Scriptures not fit with Tradition. ALL Scripture came out of Tradition, and the Church, by its very commission from God must uphold both, which is why it cannot countenance the protestant heresies which ignore Tradition, and mutilate the Scriptures.
