Is the Pope treated like a king... to you?

The only true king is Jesus Christ and he came as a servant to all so what does that say about a man that is supposed to lead so many christians and yet lives like royalty... this quote might help...\n\nLuk 20:46  Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;Luk 20:47  Which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

Yeah. As long as it was televised, though. It'd be sick to be able to say "dudes, that was me. I pulled the pope's finger. Yo, that guy's crazy hahahaha crazy, man."

That's what the church says to mantain its power.\n\nSay, even if you believe in a god, do you think it would be his will to allow popes in golden thrones and protestant priests in BWM's while billions starve?

well, dont worry about leonardo.  hes very religious.  you should be worried about donatello.  he bathes in the blood of sacrificed newborns, and rapes small children, puppies and goats.  HE will be the one going to hell.

It sounds strange, but it was outside his jurisdiction.  Most people believe the Pope has extraordinary wide ranging authority.  Most of his authority is moral not actual.  When the story became public he did call the cardinals to Rome, but it was still up to the local churches to fix their problems.  Pope's simply don't have that kind of power over a local church, unless it happens to be in the diocese of Rome itself.\n\nIn some circumstances, he could remove a bishop within the Roman Patriarchate, but even that power is limited.  Political power within Catholicism is local not international as a general rule.\n\nFurther, when the local bishops passed rules in the US Catholic Conference, the Pope ruled the Conference had no binding authority over the local church.  They could all voluntarily adopt the rules, but the Conference is more advisory than political.

The good archbishop was insane while he was alive -- I expect nothing other from his followers. Hopefully the church will liberalize before there is none left.\n\nReynolds Jones\nhttp://www.rebuff.org

I don't think the Pope needs to apologize based on my understanding of what was said. As I understand, his comment was from a theological point of view and not meant to be a condemnation of the religion. I guess I think with all of the Muslim violence in the world, Muslims should take a closer look at themselves, fix whatever their problems are and not worry so much about what someone else said, even if it was the Pope.

King. Before the Magna Carta screwed it all up. :)

Did you hear the Pope is gay?\n\nHe can't decide if he is divine or simply fabulous.

Not a big fan of him myself. He definitely doesn't have the charisma of the last Pope. Regardless, of his answers, his being a part of the Hitler youth hasn't been adequately addressed. He seems like the kind of person who's tough on everyone else, but easy on himself.Even though Turkey didn't stand with us during this Iraqi war{allowing us to enter Iraq from the north would have really helped everone concerned}, I still feel Turkey should've been a part of the EU from the beginning, and that is still US policy,but I'm not sure this Pope would agree on our views about Turkey. We'll see what happens, I just don't feel he has the personal holiness John Paul 2 had.

An excellent question.........I don't understand that either........ask the Pope who lives in unbelievable wealth while just outside the Vatican are poor and hungry people begging.

He isn't a king.  He's the prince-consort.  (Which is just a fancy title for "queen's husband.")\n\nNormally when kings marry, their wives have a coronation ceremony too and become queens instead of being princess-consorts.  But Prince Philip was never coronated.

My Husband and I have an understanding.  During the week He gets breakfast in bed (every morning) and on the weekends I get it.  He comes home from working sooo hard, and still finds time to spend time with my children, until bed.  Then treats me like a Queen. But hey isn't that the way a king should treat his queen?  we treat each other with the utmost respect and uncondtional love.  Sounds like ur lady is as lucky as me.

Did you hear that the pope has contracted the bird flu? I hear he got it from a cardinal!

No, you must, of course, believe in Christ as Savior to get to heaven.  The pope can guarantee NOTHING!
