i didn't say he was your leader, i said you were his people
i'm going by his job description and especially his influence in the middle ages. personally, i don't even believe in god so i couldn't care less about what the pope says but technically, he is there for me if i need him
and duke is still an idiot.(wanted to make sure we don't lose sight of what's important )
Catholics are his "people".
My personal distaste for Duke's arguing semantics and cicular logic, applies to anyone who speaks on topics they know nothing about. All Christians are NOT Catholic, and the Pope is a Catholic appointed leader of the Catholic faith. If you "need" him, then you are Catholic.
If you need further instruction on this, fire up Encarta and look up "Protestant reformation", or you can go to Ireland and ask them what they think about the whole Catholic vs Protestant thing.
i can't believe i'm defending a guy who represents a god i don't believe in. but, here goes...
the pope is supposed to care about and help all people of the world regardless of their religion or lack there of. this is why he steps in and gives his opinion(like we care) with every situation going on in the world. now, catholics are the only ones who "have" to listen to him, but he is still there for everyone.
