I don't know about the 'greatest' hypocrite. Sure, it definitely takes a pretty big, heaping dose of hypocrisy, but there are an awful lot of big, big hypocrites out there, in many fields (politics, religion and broadcast media seem to be the biggest hypocrite magnets). So I'm not sure I could see putting the Greatest Hypocrite crown squarely on the pope's head.

No I don`t think so, first you have to answer the call to become a Priest then you havt to serve Gods people and teach the Gospel, eventually after years of service and study you become a Bishop,and if you are really humble and have great wisdom you may become a Cardinal.
So you need to be a Cardinal to become eligible for the Pope`s position.
Hope you understand the concept now and come away from pig-ignorance.

that's a little disrespectful, its almost like saying bush is a good president.
on the serious side, i guess every team needs a leader, i don't feel anything hypocritical bout the pope. so do u think Buddha was a hypocrite as well?

The Pope is elected by a panel of his peers, which implies a good ole boy network. After Jesus ascended, the believers found themselves leaderless so they threw lots to see who would lead them. However neither system is of much faith because Jesus says he will be with us always, even unto the end, so believers don't need spiritual leaders if they are babtised as Jesus was.

Well, with this current pope I'd agree, but his predicessor was fairly open and non-hypocritical. John Paul II was on the right side of WWII, Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) was on the wrong side of WWII, plain and simple.

The pope has an upside down cross on the back of his chair.

For those of us who are not Roman Catholic, we have no reason to be concerned with the teachings or alleged hypocrisy unless it somehow infringes on our rights. Other than that, he can say whatever he chooses. It doesn't bother me in the least.

Could you phrase that in the form of a question.

At the very least deluded. However it does put him in the position to do great good (or great evil) so I guess it has it's justification.
