Funny. I think the standard response (if you'd *read* your bulletin) is that god protected the popes with the bulletproof car.

Hi chippy, Im afraid I've to agree with david m 's answer. But I would like to say that God has tested some of His most beloved men like Moses, Jesus, Jacob, Joseph and so on with extreme hardships etc but yet they were the successful ones and would always be. Any person who would love God would be loved by Him..u don't necessarily have to be a Pope or a father to be protected by Him. So the pope must have been protected from something worse which we dont know and if there was a pope who was shot once...then that must be his fate. Im sure you would not agree with what i'm saying as you are not a believer...but God loves us all and He is there with us all the time...u just ve to 'perceive' His blessings.

I'm not a catholic so I'm not going to talk about the pope. God protects his people but does not give them special privileges. The rain falls on both good and evil. God will not always shield Christians from death although on special occasions He can.

He does protct His ppl. Who u see as His ppl, may not truely be.
The pope is a puppet for the vatican. If he really did believe in God, he would not drive around in a bullet froof car and ppl would not want to shoot him.
God can stop u bullet but it is sooooo much easier for Him (not physically but on behalf of us, i mean, we as humans would b pretty messed up if we all saw a bullet stop dead in mid air) to prevent the bullet from leaving the gun, or the gun from being picked up in the first place..

You might as well ask why God allows anything disconcerting to happen to anybody, let alone violent. The whole idea has to do with free will. He's not micromanaging life, and He lets people choose what they want to do. If he set it up so nobody did anything wrong, then free will would be gone.

I am not Catholic, and I happen to believe that pope does not teach God's word correctly. I do not think that he is God's child, otherwise, he would teach God's word correctly.

I wish God would protect you from saying some of the things that you do, for example when you called Catholics greedy in another answer. What is your problem? Why do you hate us?
