Yes. He is our holy father (second to God the Father) and as such it is offensive to us when people say crude things about him.
It "originated as a derogatory term meant to demean Catholics in England during the late 17th century."

The Pope isn't infallible each and all of the time, in basic terms while talking ex cathedra, which has in basic terms handed off formally two times. The church encourages its individuals to study, examine, and habit study on the subject of its theology and ethical doctrines. Catholics do no longer count number entirely on the Bible, yet in addition on Sacred custom, surpassed down simply by fact the age of the Apostles. by the way, in case you have been thinking approximately women persons monks, then why did no longer Christ ordain any women persons? The Church is in simple terms persevering with that custom which became into started by employing Christ. component of her theology is that, as Catholics, we are invited to be a piece of the main Holy kin, to take part in the divinity of Christ (in the path of the Eucharist). This interprets to all factors of life which incorporate celibacy, marriage, intercourse, and beginning administration, abortion, the dying penalty, etc (it somewhat is an prolonged tale). Your'e loose to disagree. it somewhat is okay. yet endure in techniques that the Holy Spirit classes the church in picking the Holy Father. unquestionably while he speaks, he has something significant to assert. He does not do all of our thinking for us. yet he has written extra effective than 40 books and endless papers. He has diverse academic ranges and fluently speaks extra effective than 5 languages. i understand a brilliant style of persons bash the Pope simply by fact he feels like the Emperor from vast call Wars (which cracks me up). You sound such as you will extra wholesome into Orthodox. they do no longer settle for the Pope and are extra "lax" on beginning administration.
