Is the pope jesuit

Answer 1

Answer

Generally when someone refers to the Pope they are referring to the Bishop of Rome, or the head of the Roman Catholic Church. However, Coptic Christians recognize a different Pope, and while Christian, Coptics are not Catholics.

Answer

Yes, obviously. This is an example of a rhetorical question; no answer is expected. It would usually be given in response to another question, when the person being asked thinks it ought to be obvious that the answer is "yes".

For example:

"Would you like a beer?"

"Is the Pope Catholic?"

See also "Do bears poop in the woods?", a similar rhetorical question which is used in almost exactly the situations as "Is the Pope Catholic?".

Catholic AnswerOur Blessed Lord chose St. Peter as the first Pope and built His Church on him, see St. Matthew 16:17-19. There has been a Pope ever since ruling the Catholic Church as Our Blessed Lord's Vicar on earth. Where the Pope is, there is the Catholic Church; you can know that you are following Our Blessed Lord in His Church, if you are following the Pope in the Catholic Church. Catholic just means universal and is the only Church that Our Blessed Lord founded. Please see question 882 in The Catechism.

Answer 2

The Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic Church, not Roman Catholics. The purpose of the pope, the church, is to help us on the way to salvation, through Christ Jesus our Lord, by the lives we lead in the area of faith and morals. The one point that stands out immediately is: The Church's teaching on the definition of life, the civil governments legislation on life, and the freedom of the individual to either accept or reject either.

Answer 3

Catholic AnswerYes, the Pope is Catholic, which means, yes, the Pope is a Christian. What a question! Christian and Catholic are the same thing. Because protestants call themselves Christian does not mean that Catholics are not. Catholics acknowledge that protestants may be Christians IF they have a valid baptism and acknowledge the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation, but otherwise not.

Answer 4

Catholic AnswerSince the Pope is the successor of St. Peter, and head of the Catholic Church, I think we can safely say that he is Catholic. The previous Pope, John Paul II, who died in 2005 was Polish, a Polish Catholic; the current Pope, Benedict XVI, is German, a German Catholic.

Answer 5

No religion has a "Pope". However several Chriistina sects have a leader with this title:

• Oriental Orthodox Churches - Pope of Alexandria

Answer 6

Answer 7

The current pope, Pope Francis is indeed a Jesuit.

Answer 8

The term pope usually refers to the leader of the Catholic Church. However, some of the Orthodox sects also refer to their leaders as popes.

Answer 9

No, the Pope is the head of the Catholic Church.
