For Catholics, the Pope is different from just a leader. The position (not the person, so if he leaves, this doesn’t apply. Or he can be at fault) is considered infallible, and thus cannot be wrong or corrupt. Now this doesn’t mean that there haven’t been corrupt cardinals or such (there certainly has been. Also, the Pope wasn’t chosen correctly for quite a few years) but when it comes to the Church’s doctrine he is supposed to always be right and the Holy Spirit is speaking through him.
With your example, if a Priest asked to have someone killed most Catholics wouldn’t do it, for one of God’s fundamental messages, as well as the teachings of Jesus, is that thou shalt not kill. God prevented Abraham from doing it, it is in the 10 Commandants that Moses brought down from the mountain, and Jesus prevented it (Bringing people back from illness, preventing the stoning of a woman, etc.) Furthermore, His death was to be the last, with all of us receiving mercy and life.

I read the article.I see with that much power how a Church could become corrupt.I had been in a cult and the brainwashing is quite extreme.I can see how when a Church (such as the Pope)has that kind of power over the people that things could get out of hand.For example,I asked a elder in the cult I was in,if the organization told you to murder someone would you do it.The elder asked a friend what they would do.The person answered, I would do it and worry about the consequences later.
I found that answer shocking, so I got out of there.
I am not out to criticize any Church.I only see that to be a problem when someone has that kind of power over people.
I can see that kind of power also in the Catholic church and I am Catholic.I reason that idea is not a good thing.I brought that idea up in my catechism class.Most of the class laughed but I knew what the possibility was.Is it alright for the Pope to have that much power over the Church.I still wrestle with that question.
I would like some feedback.Constuctive feedback not hatred just some honest felt thought. With or wiyhout scripture.
thanks,
George
