nice post wolfy...but i still dont understand the whole importance ofa Pope...hes like an idol peeps worship him mor ethen god, not so sure i like that idea
he is the sucessor of peter....as you should know, peter was one of jesus's apostles....thats why it is called st peters basilica at the vatican, the site where peter was martyred. Jesus made Peter the head his church. Peter was the first bishop of Rome, the first Pope.
"Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
The church moved to Rome after Peter fled Jerusalem and has been there ever since. St Peters is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The ceiling is made from solid gold, you can see the mummified popes behind glass, Michaelangelo's designs and sculptures, everything is just amazing.
I wish the Pope goes quickly and calmly. Nothing can be done for him but to pass on. He is truly a great human being and will never be forgotten. I have been saddened by all of this, as have billions of people around the world, but I know he wants us all to happy, and i think we should.
