Dear wideawake,

At least among Catholics, I see few people here who might be described as hating the pope. Many of us are not wholly uncritical, but it's one thing to criticize the words and deeds of someone and another thing to hate him.

There are, of course, the Usual [non-Catholic] Suspects, but they'd hate the pope even if Jesus came down in front of them and said the pope's his main guy.

...even if Jesus came down in front of them and said the pope's his main guy.

Which will never, ever happen.

Ever.

This underscores the difference between Catholics and Protestants. Protestants would never posit that scenario. The Pope should be kneeling down and say Jesus is his main Man.

You're absolutely right.

But there are sedevacantist anti-Catholic Protestants here as well as the more common variety of anti-Catholic Protestants.

Luckily there are also many Protestants here who take the Beatitudes seriously as well.
