The Pope is NOT the face of Christianity.
There's only one between God and men ... that's Christ alone.
Pope What's-His-Name -- he might be a great and holy man...
but he is not Christ's replacement or representative on Earth.
I am a Christian... and the Pope, he does NOT represent me.
That is all.

Someone once said in response to a Pope and his stance on sex,sex before marriage,abortion or divorce (it was one or all of the above).
"You no playa the game, You no maka the rules".I always loved that quote.
Who is the Pope in 2008 by the way?
The last one I remember was Pope John Paul George IV.His friends called him "Ringo".
cmon, at least he apologized (sort of) for his minions buggering little boys. not bad for a kid who grew up in the Hitler Youth.
My disassociation el Popo has nothin' to do with priests raping children... and someone's involvement in questionable things when they were a kid doesn't define who they are now...
but Catholics and other Christians really are not the same when it comes to God... but the TV media has been fawning all over his visit like Pope Eggs Benedict is blanketing the land with gold, frankincense, and free laptops for all. And this with catholicism in decline.
Nothing in the Bible says someone's gotta bow down to a Pope or pray to Mary.
That religion does some good things in the world... but all the robes and communion and crap, and the church hierarchy leading all the way to Vatican City, I'm sorry but it's just ridiculous.
And no one is absolved of their sins through a Priest ... truth is it's through Christ and Christ alone, no middlemen involved; you can be absolved of your sins a thousand miles from the nearest confessional all while you're suffering through diarrhea while on the shitter!
