What Do You Think Of The Pope?

hmm... there are a lot of different Catholics & a lot of very different views of the pope, or the popes...
Just curious, how many Catholic people do you actually know, & base this question on?:) & what do you mean by 'worship'? I come from a predominantly Catholic country & area.. & I don't know anyone who would 'worship' the pope, lol!!
Many here are just careless or don't think much about all this anyway... You probably think much more about this, or the pope, than they do, lol!! There are only a few 'hardcore' 'old school' fanatics, but even those don't 'worship' the pope, but respect him highly, & think highly of him.. Sometimes without looking further than the title, but that is a danger that comes with every role, even politicians or other professions may suffer the same problem.. They may not like to hear you diss him, but then they may not like to hear you diss anyone!!:)/at least my father is like that!/I was brought up in a Catholic home (my Dad used to wanna be a priest lol) but now consider myself as 'more spiritual than religious'... I think people of all sorts of different religions & beliefs can be good people... & that probably at least 80% people are at least 80% good people.. (including the pope/s!! lol)
I think the Pope has a 'tough job':), & he's just another human being.. My Dad argues popes are supposed to 'be infallible in church/religion matters', but not in other matters.. which is the official church view nowadays too.. I don't even think they're infallible in any matters, as we are all human & may make mistakes..
I really liked the previous pope, it was kinda like 'love to a rockstar', kinda like I like Bono from U2 or such../I don't 'worship' Bono! lol I just greatly admire what he does! & I don't like all songs, but really love some songs!!/ Going to see the pope was like going to see U2 & Bono... I think many pretty normal young people are in Australia right now, meeting the pope, mainly because of a wish for adventure & travelling & hanging out with other youths in a 'safe' environment.. (the pope thing may be even somewhat secondary..) At least it was kinda like that when we went to see the previous pope when he came here to Slovenia.. Most young people just went for the 'hang-out' factor..:)
Had to chuckle at the 'Lord Sidious' comment & the other comment that the new pope be 'creepy'... I wouldn't call it so far, but.. yeah, I'm a bit uneasy about him too... I don't know what he has up his mind.. there were rumours about his past etc. I think he'd love to be as popular as his predecessor, but so far I think he's not, & may never be.. even among the catholic community, or the majority of it... I think it's good he publicly apologized to victims of abuse & condemned behaviour of the priests who did it.. Priests are not the only ones who did abuse, fathers or grandpas or 'uncles' or teachers or plumbers did it too... must we condemn all plumbers now? there are good priests who mainly improved quality of people's lives too..

I think every person represents Christ on earth, so that would include pope too:)
& what would god say? Probably a different thing to & about each pope lol Did you have anything specific in mind?
