I am not Catholic, but I am catholic. There are great concerns in the world that would be better met by a Pope like Urban II. Christianity depends upon it.

The Pope can be wrong. If he makes an Ex Cathedra Statement without concurrence of the Bishops, at least ALL of the Cardinals, it is not infallible and still wrong. He must be “in union” with all the bishops.

Translation: “Why isnt the Pope doing what I asked? I’ve politely couched my demand in the form of a request, and now I’m repeating myself for public attention. I want the Pope to dance to my tune. I don’t want to be patient. I don’t want to be humble. I want what I want and I want it now”.

The pope cares more about taking money from those who earn it and giving it to those who don’t, than about a silly Catholic teaching about marriage.

Likely we are all wrong. To what extent? We won’t know ‘til we meet our maker.

Why in this petition are pronouns referring to the Pope in caps (eg. You, Your)?

Of all the verses Catholics zero in on and make much of, why not this:

“Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”—Matt. 15:14
