Uniting ourselves with the band of those who bestow on the Roman Pontiff the epithets last cited, we assert that he is unworthy of the honourable titles which precede them, and that the latter disparaging epithets are attributed to Him through his just deserts, which we now proceed to prove in a few Theses.
But the Roman Pontiff is not Christ; and therefore, he is neither the head of the church, nor can any affinity be established between Christ, and the Roman Pontiff, which is not signified in the name of some particular member of the body, or of a duty belonging to some member.
Although the Roman pontiff calls himself "the servant of the servants of God," yet we further assert that he is by way of eminence, That Wicked And Perverse Servant, who, when he saw that his Lord delayed his coming, "began to smite his fellow-servants." (Matt.

Hence our Lord said to Peter whom he made Sovereign Pontiff (Luke 22:32): "I have prayed for thee," Peter, "that thy faith fail not, and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren." The reason of this is that there should be but one faith of the whole Church, according to 1 Cor.

 ELECTION OF THE ROMAN PONTIFF
SINCE THE Roman Pontiff, as successor of St. Peter in the See of Rome, is Vicar of Christ on earth as well as supreme Shepherd and visible head of the universal Church, his election has always been an object of special attention.
If the deceased Supreme Pontiff has made a will concerning his possessions and his private letters and documents and has appointed an executor, the latter, in accordance with the powers assigned him by the testator, is to decide upon and carry out what should be done with these private possessions and writings.
Therefore We decree that the newly elected Supreme Pontiff may now be approached by the substitute secretary of state (papal secretary), the secretary of the council for the public affairs of the Church, the prefect of the pontifical household, and others who must consult with the new pope on immediately pressing matters.

There's an internal logic to the pontiff's own philosophy of "the dignity of the human person." While the notion may resonate with the liberal worldview, the pope includes in his view of the individual a divine component of which the Church is the infallible arbiter, setting him at odds with liberals.
John Paul II has also been unusual among pontiffs in his embrace of a mystic spirituality centered on the cult of the Virgin Mary.
He has been known to prostrate himself for hours at a time before statues of the Virgin, and believes she interceded to save him from an assassin's bullet fired on the anniversary of the appearance of Mary in apparition at Fatima.

Father Paul Doyle, rector of Dillon Hall, admitted that the pope's situation is complicated, and that both sides - those that believe the 84-year-old pontiff should step down, and those convinced he should serve until his death - are legitimate.
In a nation where the elderly are often separated from society in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, Doyle noted the importance of allowing an aged pope to continue in his position and remain leader of the Church.
However, Father Steele, director of Theology on Tap, said he has great faith in the pontiff, who has managed to defy predictions of impending death for many years.
