when you like having a religious excuse for your hate so much that you denounce your religious leader just to keep it.

Leader? The pope is not just a leader. He is the divine representator of (for) god on this earth. He is the appointed successor to saint Peter, the guy chosen by Jesus himself as be the "frontman" (what Dave Grohl is to the foo fighters for you heretics ;) ) of the apostles and the bearer of the keys of heaven.

Or, at least, that's according to true catholics.

Anyway, the pope is not just a leader.

I was trying to be funny, not pedantic.. I failed. :/

i didn't find it pedantic, you're right that he's different than, say, a regular rabbi or imam... he's like god's spokesperson and these people are like "nah, you don't know what you're talking about, I'll just keep hatin' thanks".

I'm positive they'd say the same thing to Jesus Christ himself if he showed up. plus he'd be brown, and have no chance with these people.
