Every church has a leader, there is a president of the Mo Synd Lutheran, there is a Arch Bishop of the Anglican Church,
and from there all churches have some leader.
Actually someone needed to say a few of those things, why other churches are not calling a spade a spade is beyond me.

No he's not needed hes a total anachronism. However, thats a completely separate issue from the Muslims running around acting like idiots yet again.
Here's a link to the BBC article, which contains a downloadable file of the speech.

The Muslims are purposely taking it out of context as an excuse to be offended, as usual. Its getting very old.

“The subject of the pope’s address was the necessity of recognizing the centrality of faith and reason in the modern world. The universities, which pride themselves on promoting the faculty of reason, have unfortunately become places where ‘radical skepticism’ reigns. In making the case for the reconciliation of faith and reason, the pope drew attention to the integral role that reason plays in shaping Christianity and the disconnect between faith and reason apparent in Islam. It was a quote from a 14th century Byzantine emperor that sparked most of the criticism: ‘Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.’ Unfortunately, most of the media that have reported on this have not emphasized that twice the pope used the words, ‘I quote,’ when introducing this remark.
“It is a mark of a civilized people that they answer discourse they find disagreeable in a rational manner. Sadly, many Muslims are responding to the pope’s speech in an irrational way, making true dialogue next to impossible. To compare the pope to Hitler, as a high-ranking Turkish official did, is the mark of an uncivilized person. To burn the pope in effigy, as the thugs in Srinagar, India, have done, is also the mark of incivility. Both are classic examples of Muslim overkill.
“Ironically, these pathetic examples underscore the central message of the pope’s address: he was beckoning the world to embrace both faith and reason. Reason unhinged from faith delivers a debased conception of mankind, the result of which has often been violence on a grand scale. But it is also true that faith unhinged from reason is capable of delivering the same outcome. Sadly, this part of the pope’s message has gone unheard in much of the Islamic world.
“Pope Benedict XVI is a brilliant philosopher and theologian. He offers so much to so many, and that is why it is sad to see this kind of reaction. Fortunately, he is also a courageous man, and will not be intimidated from speaking the truth.”
Calling the Pope an old hag is just being ignorant of the facts, and shows unreasonable prejudice.

What is wrong with quoting mideval literature? Please bear in mind that Shakespeare is mideval literature, as is Chaucer, the Koran and hundreds of other texts that are quoted on a daily basis around the world. The Pope did not say that he supported or believed that these words were true. People are just blowing this totally out of proportion.

The Pope is needed as much as the Devil he serves.
Satan is well please with the Catholic Church for spreading her lies and deceiving the people. Rev.12:9.
However the Catholic Church is about to be burned with fire as Rev. 17:16 states and what a great day that will be.

Actually no pope, or priest or anyone else is needed. All they say is that you can't read the bible for your self and that u have to work for your salvation. The only way to get to heaven is by believing on Jesus Christ and that he is the price for every one, we just have to believe that.
