The idea of a Pope doesn't make sense. Why do they need a leader who is supposed to be a humble servant to God, but has all that jewelry and precious items? amirite?

You make no sense -_-'

You're thinking of the Catholic church BEFORE the reformation. They used to be very corrupt.

'used to'. Cause the very common molestation of little boys and the constant cover up/no punishment of the priests isn't corrupt at all.

I'm not defending the church, but you should realize that not all clergymen are pedophiles, but some clergymen happen to be pedophiles. People aren't perfect. I know it looks worse because of their position in society, but I think it's unfair to give the entire Catholic church a bad wrap because of it. Who's to say that pastors from other denominations aren't pedophiles, too? My point is, no group of people is without fault. It would be ridiculous to expect a church to be different. Religion was created by man; therefore, it's fallible.

You're making it seem like it's much more common than it is, and the church used to be a LOT worse.

...you are still missing the point. he is a servant to god. the jewellery he bears are a symbol of his position of supreme catholic authority. the precious items are relics of the church, they are accumulated religious items. who cares what he posseses, the whole idea of catholicism is retarded, just gotta accept it and move on

If an idea is 'retarded' why would we simply accept it and move on? If something doesn't make sense that's when we should question it....that's how we grow as individuals and as a species

So many questions about the Pope. The entire idea seems retarded to me. That is why I am Lutheran.

Christianity is chrisianity, they're equally as 'retarded'. It'll be a good day when a majority of ppl base their belief system/how they see the world on FACTS not just some crap ppl made up thousands of years ago to rule the masses.
