That's an extremely un-Catholic attitude, Sinky.
For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. -- 1 Cor 4:15Humility and obedience are the hallmarks of the Catholic Christian. Pride and a sense of equality with God's authorities are the characteristics of the Other Side. For your own sake I urge you to reconsider your attitide, following the example of St. Timothy in Philippians 2:22: "But Timothy's worth you know, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel."You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our behavior to you believers; for you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. -- 1 Thess 2:10-12
Thanks for your concern, but even John Paul refers to us as his "brothers and sisters."
I think that is a very healthy relationship for the Pope to have with us.
