Strangely, for a Protestant
I find the Pope to be an extraordinary Leader

If He was revered as a Apostle, this would make sense to me

But many (most) Catholics I’ve known
widely disregard His Teachings and Leadership

Stepping away from
The Clear Teachings of the Scriptures,
The Clear Tradition of the Catholic Church, and the
The Clear Messages from the Pope

On issues such as Homosexuality, Abortion, Sanctity of Life

When it is "Inconvenient"

It is so confusing to this limited mind

It’s confusing to me, too. When I was a drifting Protestant - my “existentialist period” - I discovered Pope John Paul II, and said, “I want to be like him.” It took a while to process through the bureacracy - our daughter was a Catholic before my husband and I were - but now I have JP2 and so many more right with me all the time.
