The pope speaks for and to catholics, not to other christian religions. nor to anyone that has no religion.
The pope is Christ’s Vicar on Earth. He has the authority to speak to all humans. Unfortunately, the current pope preaches different things to different religions. So don’t pay too much attention to this one. Check out Pope St Pius X; he’s the last pope to be declared a saint. He preached to all men the Catholic Faith.
as they say in Mexico...EL WRONGO!!! the pope is the head of all who profess Christianity, just as the president is the leader of all Americans, Demos and Repubs....you may not agree with him, but he is still your president/pope.
people who profess no particular religion or those who are non-Christian, pay close attention to the Pope because he influences so many people....and they like him!!
I’m not Catholic, and I fully agree with this piece.
