I just watched the trailer for the show and a few clips on Youtube, and now I have some objections! 😄 First of all, the pope is so incredibly arrogant (I mean not having sins to confess!? That’s not even remotely likely), the likelihood of his ever being pope is almost null. He goes so far as to say, assuming I heard correctly, “I’m God,” which is downright blasphemy. Then there’s some nun who sees the pope as being very holy, which either means the nun is insane or she is only pretending to be Catholic.

That pope would be among the very worst of the Church’s popes, although I do agree with a lot of what he says in various video clips. He’s very hypocritical and arrogant, but he strikes me as more misguided than evil in a lot of what I watched. He’s not the sort of leader I would want for the Church, but he does express a lot of truths that I would like to see a pope give voice to.
