No, he is not. That whole thing is a political stunt.
I asked that question to MakingMoneyHoney:
Pope is the vicar of Jesus Christ... so you are not believing the Pope now that he's alive, how would you have acted if you did lived during the time of Jesus Christ?
Would you had believed in Jesus Christ if you did lived during Jesus Christ's time?
Would you had believed in Jesus Christ if you did lived during Jesus Christ's time?
I think I asked you the same question.
The point is: if you don't believe the Pope, which is the Vicar of Jesus Christ on Earth you won't have believed Jesus Christ if you were living during his times (2000 years ago).
What makes you a Christian if you don't believe in Jesus Christ?
Thank You.
