"The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, he is Jesus Christ himself, hidden under the veil of flesh." Catholic National July 1895.
"Hence the Pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions (infernorum)." -Lucius Ferraris, «Prompta Bibliotheca», 1763, Volume VI, 'Papa II', p.26)
Roman Catholic Canon Law stipulates through Pope Innocent III that the Roman pontiff is "the vicegerent upon earth, not a mere man, but of a very God;" and in a gloss on the passage it is explained that this is because he is the vicegerent of Christ, who is "very God and very man." Decretales Domini Gregorii translatione Episcoporum, (on the transference of Bishops), title 7, chapter 3; Corpus Juris Canonice (2nd Leipzig ed., 1881), col. 99; (Paris, 1612), tom. 2, Devretales, col. 205

Funny you said that, when I read the headline I thought why is there this big desire to meet with the Pope, he's not God and he doesnt have exclusivity on a connection to God. The veil in the temple was ripped 2000+ years ago. It also doesn't seem like the only way to get to Canada is through a connecting flight in Italy. Whats the point? Do this when food prices arent skyrocketing and people arent starving

The pope is the head of the Roman catholic church. He knows who he is and who God is..

So is flying to Ottawa via Italy good for the environment (which he is trying to blame the damage on everyone but Bahamas)?

Who paid for this trip? Why was it necessary?

Maybe Davis can ask the Pope to free up some of that money the catholic church likes to hoard. Still not sure what they are saving it all for? Shouldn't they be helping people with it? They take so much from the poor and then live like kings while the poor continue to go without so that they can pay their tithes. The wealth of the catholic church really is disgusting. No way a righteous god would let any of the hoarding council enter through the pearly gates.

Roman Catholics do not pay tithes. and they do help the poor. they do not take photos out of respect for human dignity.
