The desire for a Catholic Pope, how rich! What would that be exactly? More importantly, could you live up to your own lofty standards that you demand a man you have never met live up to?
Was Benedict Catholic enough for you? How about John Paul II, if so, how would you like to be comapred to two of the brightest minds of the Catholic Church?
The Catholic church publishes its teachings. Anyone can read them. If the laity see the leadership act contrary to those teachings, what are they to do? Lay back and say “Well those guys are so much smarter than I am they must be following the teaching even though I can read and understand that their actions and words say otherwise.” IOW who is one to believe, papal syncophants or their own lying eyes?
