I was never a huge fan of the pope idea in general (The Pope is considered the great among equals...), but Pope John Paul II was pretty cool. However, I am not so fond of the newest Pope, Benedict XVI. With a recent statement, Pope Benedict XVI claimed that all religions and versions of Christianity are inferior to the Roman Catholic faith. This means that he was basically saying that if you are not Roman Catholic, it really isn't Christianity (which can be proved wrong by several things I don't feel like getting into at the moment). Of course, I see the Pope only as a figure, and if it is a Pope I don't like who I don't think deserves respect, I basically disagree with their statements. I am not a Catholic, so that also affects my opinion slightly. In fact, I don't completely agree with every version of Christianity 100%, but, excluding a few things, I am pretty much a follower of Lutheran faith. I think that the Pope, whoever it is, should respect others. Considering that their title is something that no person deserves to have, they shouldn't use it carelessly. To be the Greatest Among Equals is saying you are the best in the world, while still being equal. I think it is a title that people like Pope Benedict XVI abuse at certain times. Anyways, that is my side. Feel free to calmly debate, agree, or disagree.

I personally don't see why some people are supposed to be "higher" when we are "equal". Personally. I don't like any of the Popes. I have my reasons. A lot of them would make you laugh, but they are reasons enough for me. I too agree with you Tora. |

[Wow, I didn't think anyone would agree with me.] Yeah, the Popes sort of think too highly of themselves, I think. |

Most people, preachers, ministers, whatever, usually subtly say that their religion is best. It is a natural feeling for people to think, most people want to be superior to others. (Note, this is the average person, I am not saying this is true for everyone.) It really doesn't matter to me because I'm Athiest, so I don't care if he said my religion is false, I think his is. BTW, my friend has commited Adultery in the Vaditican, major win. |
