The pope is not the head of Christianity. He's the head of the Catholic Church.

No matter how much sophistry one dumps on this fact, it always remains true that the pope is not the head of Christianity.

Well he was until Henry VIII need some wiggle room.

Oh, Katie Couric, Peter Jennings and the rest would be right there with you, dude! "George W. Bush is not my President. I didn't vote for him. He doesn't speak to my needs. We need to discuss secession possibilities for the blue states." The Red-State, Blue-State thing is just the political version of a play we saw five hundred years ago. :)

Agreed, the Pope is not the head of Christianity because Eastern Orthodox Christians have no voice in the Catholic Church. Just the same, Catholic problems are not Orthodox problems.

Eastern Orthodoxy does not have a choice or vote in matters concerning the Pope. Eastern Orthodoxy has already setup a system that is not controlled by one MAN, rather, a board.

Eastern Orthodoxy is the Granddaddy of them all. I mean that respectfully. Additionally, many have no idea that Eastern Orthodoxy has had to battle Leftist Atheist Communism and Islam for decades and centuries yet it has still survived thanks to the Gusle and iron faith.

It could be argued he is not the head of the RCC either.. only part of it.. course you can get into the discussion of what IS a Roman Catholic.?. with what is a "Christian".. to follow..

People the world over think they have some poor old "God(s)" locked into an iron clad contract with "them" as his lawyer....

Any real God would be laughing at the arrogance of it all..
BUT, what if he(God) isn't laughing at all, but is really pissed off.?.

HUMANS.?.. (Eddie Murphy laugh).. [YEAH mee too]
