The Pope and other leaders of the Catholic Church are all not what I would want leading me.

Too good for you, eh?

That's a stunning admission.

I don’t understand the issues some people have with the Pope. I’m not even Catholic and even I know that Popes meet with all sorts of distasteful individuals and have for as long as I can remember.

I wasn’t thrilled with Robert Mugabe sitting his evil butt in the front row for John Paul’s funeral but the Vatican wasn’t going to kick him out and make a scene. For the most part they try to remain above politics and politicization of Vatican dealings is something we do, not them.
