That is not an issue between the Pope and the "flock", that is between God and His people. Even God doesn't demand that people believe, instead God gave Free Will. The Pope has to spiritually feed and lead His sheep. Those that choose to say yes to God. My faith is founded on that rock, that doesn't adapt to worldly preasures and trends that are offensive to God. No matter how much "the world' attacks and defames my faith, the gates of hades will not prevail.
Absolutely not that is the primary mission of a Pope.
