A person cannot be pope and not Catholic. It's against the rules and conditions for the conclave.
by Oor Galooly - on May 31st, 2008
I can only assume this is a rhetorical question.
by Anon on May 31st, 2008

If he isn't, well, wouldn't that religion be embarrassed!
by suzycue on August 19th, 2008
He is ROMAN Catholic. The definition of the word catholic is much broader...and means someone who is involved in the conservative christian belief.
by iwnit on May 31st, 2008
1) Yes, but some people want to be more Catholic than he is.
2) "Benedict XVI is a well-known Roman Catholic theologian and a prolific author, a defender of traditional Catholic doctrine and values."

Nope. I have it in good authority that he is actually a Muslim but posing as a Catholic to get more votes

If anybody fits the description of devil worshiper, man, that pope dude is it!
by ImaCatholic2 on August 17th, 2008
Yes.
Being Catholic is one of the requirements.
Any baptized male Catholic can be elected Pope. Although the chances of a non-cardinal being elected is very small.
If the person elected is not yet a bishop, then he is ordained a bishop before accepting the office of the Papacy.
With love in Christ.

Actually NO is the Correct Answer! Well...Yes works too. First, "Pope" simply means "Father", is he??? A Father...Not that we can Prove. Second "catholic" simply means "Universal", is he "Universal"??? NO! With that here then is a "Site" that does a good job of explaining the Lies. Enjoy!!! John

Since you're using a lower-case c, then you don't mean "Catholic" as in member of the Roman Catholic Church, but "catholic" as in "universally applying to everyone," and so the answer is no. He isn't everybody's pope.
by anon on August 8th, 2008
if he is, and he sings mass, but no one is there to hear it, did he really make a sound...?
by Gene H on January 7th, 2009
No. Bears are.

You know, that is a good question. Of course the pope is Catholic, since Catholic - the word - means, that which is widely believed. It seems to me that since he is the head of Christitanity, he is head of all Christian churches. But that is not so. Because so many of them have wandered off the true path and gone their own way. This is where the antichrist enters into our lives. Protestants, please don't become offended. Jesus says we will receive according to our faith. That means that if you truly believe what you DO believe, you are saved through the blood of Jesus. If you have qualms about being protestant, as I have developed - you had better follow your conscience. It is not the good Christian members of protestant churches who will be in trouble with God so much as the people who taught what is not true. Wandering away from the Catholic Church has had me studying Christianity among many denominations. They all pointed the way back to the original church. It was hell for me to keep running into brick walls in my search for truth. At this point I am still a Lutheran. I believe in this church so much that I think they should be called Catholic Lutherans. But again, this could be the antichrist working in my life. I now SEE that there are seven sacraments, and our Lutheran church only has three. I now SEE that we should not have the audacity to question the pope. We are peons, and think we know it all. We know nothing but what God chooses to reveal to us through His perfect church. The Catholic church's teachings have never changed since Jesus handed over the authority to heaven and hell to it. This is why there is so much fighting and division in the protestant churches. God is the same yesterday, today and for eternity. He is perfect and does not change. Neither do His laws - as the CAtholic Church refuses to go the way of the world. God bless us all!
