Quote:The other reason they care so much is that the Pope is basically God on earth. He's viewed as God's chosen messenger and people think that he's got some red phone to the magical mystery man in the sky.
To the Pope Pole!
Jay's view is interesting as a Catholic. His view symbolizes what is wrong with the Catholic church in this country. Nobody wants to follow the churches rules. Did you ever try getting laid in Ireland? They take the church dead serious. Americans Catholics want their cake and they want to eat it too. If you don't look for a leader of your church to set doctrine on how to live your lives according to the wishes of God, why have a leader? As much as it pains me to say this, Galt is dead on here.
