I was baptized a Lutheran, and I feel bad for the Catholics, and some of the things they are having to deal with re: This Pope.
This Pope is already 79 years old. He won't be around too much longer.
Besides the Catholic Church has had some DOOZIES as popes. The Church survived them all.
Popes today don't have any REAL power and their Swiss Guards are merely for show. The red hats elected this pope so he had something to offer...
I don't understand why any non-Catholic would care ONE IOTA who the Pope was/is. I, as a Catholic, don't care. The Pope doesn't have any influence on my life. I don't have to "deal" with the Pope, as you wrote. Lol. That's a laugh. Me, "dealing" with a Pope.
Jesus influences my life, not a mere man, not even Pope Francis.
