And this is why I've never gotten the appeal of Catholicism. The head guy (Pope) is elected by other men of his equal to be the next contact with God and set theological, ideological, economic Vatican policies. I'm not berating Catholics, I have a problem with Vatican politics and leadership, and their situational morality.
Disclaimer: I'm agnostic or a deist on a good day. However, since I grew up, I've always tried to live my life based on Judeo/Christian values and ethics.
The pope is not a prophet or oracle. I.e., he is not the Church’s “contact with God.”
Bergoglio abuses his authority daily.
