Once again...who cares? I know catholics see him as a demi-god of sorts, but he’s just a man.
No Catholic sees him as a demi-god. Only the press views him that way...
But the problem is that he’s the titular head of the Church, and he’s out there running around showing his total contempt for Catholic doctrine on all levels.
Demigod? I have to chuckle at folks in this English/Irish/Scotch/German country who have inherited these quaint little notions.
My family lived for centuries a stone’s throw from the Papal States. In other words, to most of you he was just a faraway religious figure. To many of us he was an in-our-face political ruler. Trust me when I say no one there anyway is under any delusion about papal demigod status.
The Catholic Church is the largest body of Christians in the world, and this man, for better or worse, is at the head of it. That’s why people care.
