Just A Thought: Losing Hope due to the Resignation of Pope?

I DID. Because I was thinking about Pope John Paul II. He didn't resign though he was really sick. But my mom is right. He's still human. Pope is not a saint.


pope  

/pōp/
Noun
  1. The head of the Roman Catholic Church.
  2. The head of the Coptic Church, the bishop or patriarch of Alexandria.

The pope’s jobs

The pope has two big jobs:
  • He’s the bishop of Rome, which means he has supreme, full, immediate, and universal jurisdiction all over the world (although the title says “Rome,” the job encompasses the whole Church).
  • He’s the head of the entire Catholic Church. As head of the Church, the pope directs the faithful around the world both directly and through mandates to the bishops who oversee the administrative territories known as dioceses. He also elevates bishops to the rank of cardinal as he sees fit.

    JUST REMEMBER:
    When all else fails, try FAITH!
