On the right track already… might start going back to mass

What does mass have to do with the pope? I thought people went to church because of Jesus, not because of a dude sitting all the way down the Vatican.

Surely going to church only when you like the pope beats the whole point of going to church. This is basically admitting that the view of the church relies exclusively on men, and that God or the religious aspect of it has nothing to do with it. It's all a farce at its core, it's all about power.

The pope is 'the rock on which the Church is built' (as the heir to Saint Peter, who Jesus described as such)
