Resolved Question

Why is the Pope "worshipped" when all he is, is a man of God?

Is it true that some people believe that the Pope might even be the Devil in disguise? Why do people make such a huge issue around the Pope, when all he is, is a man like the rest of us, that believes and follows God. Like his sh1t don't stink!? (just asking...)

Its all in the type of religion you believe. The reason why so many different ones were created. Everyone does their own thing their own way. I always asked myself the same question. I don't confess my sins to anyone but God, and I don't let man(in general) tell me what is right or what is wrong. The catholics have their own beliefs and traditions, and the pope is one of them.

He isn't worshipped. He is respected and reverred as he is the head of the Church.

I've wondered the same thing. How can a everyday old man be so glorified in the eyes of others?

I know he isnt the devil in disguise.

He is simply a man that followed the Catholic church, faithfully. Entered a priesthood at a young age. Did his duties, year in - year out. Hit the age of 87 & a half, thus now... he's been named Pope.

There's a scripture in the Bible where Christ actually says that NO man should be called Father. For the true Father is in heaven. Not on earth.

So, I honestly do not know why so many people submit to one single man. Like he is a "God", of some sorts.

I'm sure he has his sins.
No man... nor woman... is perfect.
And anyone that says they are... is a liar.

I also don't understand why some Catholics say not to pray. They refuse to pray.
Yet... Catherine of Aragon, a devoted subject of the Catholic church and also the 1st wife of Henry Vlll, prayed all the time. She was daily seen at the alter, kneeling. Sometimes for hours on end. Praying mostly that God would bless her with a son.

And oh yes... I'm sure his poo stinks just as much as ours. If not, worse. He probably gets the best, yummy meals shoved in his face all the time.
Lucky old goat :P

If he poops in the woods his poop doesn't stink or maybe if he poops on a bear,I forgot which one is correct...

Because he is, in the Catholic religion, supposed to be the direct representative of God on Earth, most recent in the chain of authority from John (I think it's John -- the founder of the Church in Rome). Supposedly he is divinely inspired. Even a quick perusal of Papal history will disabuse you of that concept.
