The Holy Father, the Pope, is the Vicar of Christ on earth. His job is to rule Christ's Church, and to lead every man on earth to heaven. The Holy Father has no jurisdiction over protestants in Italy or anywhere else. Furthermore, he is here to show Christ's love for His people, not to punish people.
