I know its all jokes, but quite frankly I'd be terrified to be elected Pope. To be bishop and know that the road to hell is lined with the heads of bishops is terrifying enough.

If you or I sin we bring sin on ourselves; a bishop brings more to sin and the punishment due is worse.

No thank you....

Well, good ol’ Athensasius himself said that the floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops. And the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The road to hell is paved with the skulls of erring priests, with bishops as their signposts, St. John Chrysostom attributed. As did a few others.

However it goes, Luke 12:48 is very very clear. To whom much is given, much is required and those to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
