I’m not asserting anything about the pope, other than that he should be accountable, as any other human being, for any role he may have had in a failure to shepherd and protect God’s people.
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
I would trust the pope would try and be like Jesus, and not “hide” behind his office/position.
You are the one asserting things which you cannot possibly know...so do you have evidence the pope is an exception to what the Scriptures teach about every man (barring Jesus)?

All the evidence is rather clear that he had no role in any failure to shepherd and protect God’s people.
“I would trust the pope would try and be like Jesus, and not “hide” behind his office/position.”
He’s not hiding. He is merely leading his flock. Since he did nothing wrong, he has nothing to answer for. Case closed.
“You are the one asserting things which you cannot possibly know...so do you have evidence the pope is an exception to what the Scriptures teach about every man (barring Jesus)?”
No. But ALL the evidence clearly shows he NEVER acted improperly in any of the two or three cases that are now being deliberately distorted by liberals and their dimwitted anti-Catholic allies. Thus, after more than 30 years under microscopic inspection by liberals, they, and you, have come up with exactly squat. Remember, THIRTY years and nada, nothing - or as the pope would say in his upper Bavarian dialecht - gar nichts. Absolutely NOTHING.
Jesus was sinless. The pope isn’t. Jesus was innocent. And apparently so is the pope.
