Now you're talking out of place. Listen, I'm sorry that you have been misinformed. But the Pope is NOT a Christian leader.

He is a CATHOLIC leader.

And I'm going to take the risk of speaking for LK1 here... and he may correct me if I'm wrong to be sure...

But Catholicism is NOT the belief that he and I and "Christians" are representing here.

Do you understand that?

This distinction HAS to be made, I feel.

The Pope is not my leader.

The Catholic church is NOT my church.

I am a Christian.

Again... if I'm speaking where I shouldn't for you LK1, I apologize, and please correct me.

Or, if you agree, and care to expound.. that would be great too.



Peace!
