Earlier today on campus, I couldn’t help but overhear a conversation between a group of people, and the topic of the conversation was how the Pope is a mere figurehead. They also made remarks saying that they don’t really respect him. As a Catholic this upset me to some degree. The pope must ensure unity of the nearly 1.3 billion people of every nation and culture. He must shed light on events that encompass worldly views, and not any particular group. Leading a religion in my opinion is the greatest responsibility anyone can hold. So before you go criticizing, do your homework and understand the responsibility that someone like the Pope has at hand before pointing any fingers.
