Benedictus Sedecim

Ninety Nine percent+ of the world doesn't understand that in religion it makes no sense for policy and doctrine to flow upward in the organization from the people to hopefully, God. Religion has no similarity with Democracy and ought not to. The more a Church resembles Democracy or any other political form the more it is just a club. Religion is where the voice of God is heard. Like Bob Lonsberry said, if you disagree with the Pope, you are not a Catholic. Start your own religion. For this reason most of the "news" coverage of the appointment of the new Pope is completely useless.
