Once elected, the Pope is by virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error. God would change any spend thrift politician into a responsible Pope.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The pope is a very... passionate man. He likes to get out with the people, and with that comes a large security risk.
To be honest, I don't really care about any pope. It's not something I think about much, to be quite honest with you.
The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but the Pope has the duty, in Christ's name, to remind the rich to help the poor, to respect them, to promote them.
I wouldn't take the Pope too seriously. He's a Pole first, a pope second, and maybe a Christian third.
Romanists tell us that the Pope is the vicar of Christ; that he is his successor as the universal head and ruler of the Church on earth. If this is so, he must be a Christ.
Under Pope Francis, we have seen a change at the Vatican that is reflective of the church I know and love. He approaches controversial doctrine or past wrongdoing with humility, understanding, and faith in the goodness of mankind. He has served as a voice for the voiceless and has been working to re-establish the church as a home for the homeless.
The Pope is not a political figure.
The pope dies, you get another pope.
If a Pope clearly realizes that he is no longer physically, psychologically, and spiritually capable of handling the duties of his office, then he has a right and, under some circumstances, also an obligation to resign.
I don't think you get to be pope without making some enemies, like you do when you're president.
