only catholics follow the pope. they follow him only in spiritual matters. on matters of politics and statecraft everyone is on their own

You seem to be hung up on this.

personally South Sudan and other parts of Africa are god forsaken places. no offense meant to anyone. I am sure they are others who feel the same way. It is Pope's choice at the end of the day.

Did it occur to you Catholics are the only major religion to have a spirtual head ?
