So tired of this. P is the Pope. No possibility of being anyone else. Just stop.
Don't study the man study the organization. Then study the Jesuits. Then study the various diplomatically protected knighthoods and bloodlines. Real power lies within Vatican protected bloodlines that have played a large part in world history for a very long time. The Pope runs the organization but it is more a round table w a Satan in the center.
So let's chat then, i'm the only one not being cryptic. I've researched it more than anyone here I promise you. Is this where you tell me the Black Pope A Sosa is more powerful, if so that's irrelevant. The Catholic Church is Satan's mafia and has been since Constantine. You're out of your league.
My standing with God is just fine thank you. Your apathy in regards to pursuing the truth within an organization that was bastardizing His Sons sacrifice and terrorizing children for over a millennia is debatable though.
