Voris (and you, it seems) makes a rigid, sharp distinction between bishops and the Pope. Bishops may be criticized; Popes are without failings, blind spots, or lapses in judgment.

I don’t think that distinction is rational, or required by the Catholic Faith.

Knights of Columbus prayer for the Pope.

Let us pray for Francis, our Pope.

May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

O God, Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, look mercifully upon Thy servant Francis, whom Thou hast chosen as shepherd to preside over Thy Church. Grant him, we beseech Thee, that by his word and example, he may edify those over whom he hath charge, so that together with the flock committed to him, may he attain everlasting life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
