God doesn't compare our sins with each others sins....He compares our sins with His righteousness. What does it matter...if both are sinners, it takes the same repentance and confession to be forgive. Having said that the judgment may be harsher for the Pope because God holds leaders to a higher standard because of the influence they have on the sheep.

I'd think they would be treated equal considering they are both only human. Supposedly a trader to God is the greatest of sinners, if a pope sinning fell into this category he would be the greatest.

Sin is sin. However, if a Pope doesn't represent the Bible or God or Jesus, he can do a lot of damage with his office.

the Bible says all sinners are equal, your punishment is death. Jesus died so we dont have to! The free gift of God is Eternal life. so no matter the size of the sin, the punishment is the same.

No man's sin is greater than the next. Sorry. Just not possible. Sin is sin point blank

"Stop judging, that you may not be judged."
(Matthew 7:1)
Why then do you judge your brother?
Or you, why do you look down on your brother?
For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.
(Romans 14:10)
With love in Christ.

every sin is the equal in God's eyes. but Jesus said if a man owed $15 and another$647326821974, and i forgave him of his debts, which would love me more?

Both are sinners and both need God's grace, forgiveness, and mercy.
