The Roman chatholic church is a political structure propped up by Roman imperalism and a tradition of european barbarians who were impressed by Roman culture, after they almost wiped it out. All the rest are splinters with thier own political ambitions.
Theres no mention of any of them in the Bible, no mention of popes being devine. There is a bit on how people can be mislead by church, how the message got distorted over time by church bureaucracy. There's a little bit on how people forget God in trying to keep up with those who self appoint themselve as Gods messenger in church.
Theres also a bit about false prophets.
Nope. Nothing on popes.
As far as there's any "Debate" to be had over the guy, what we really should be conclaving about is what we're going to call him over the next 10, 15 years. Some good suggestions already. The Panzerpope? The Popestapo? The Blitzchrist?
My vote: Ratso the Magnificent.
