Love him or hate him, he is the Pope. He is head of the Catholic church. He is considered the voice of God. Luckily for us his power does not reach to our government. There was a day when the Popes word was law, those days are over. His opinions on immigration and climate change are just that, his opinions. He can give advice to every world leader, how they take it is up to them. He is here to serve the people, all people, which is why his views contradict the way many of us think. He is trying to help as many people as he can, he should be commended for that, but unless he is willing to give his own country to the cause then he shouldn’t expect others to do so. I don’t see him offering Vatican City as a refuge for millions on illegal immigrants.

By whom? Certainly not by the Church. In July 2005 Pope Benedict XVI stated during an impromptu address to priests in Aosta that: "The Pope is not an oracle; he is infallible in very rare situations, as we know."

**He is considered the voice of God.**

Only when he speaks on matters of faith and morals.
