	Pope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pope derives his Pontificate from being Bishop of Rome but is not required to live there; according to the Latin formula ubi Papa, ibi Curia, wherever the pope resides is the central government of the Church, provided that the pope is Bishop of Rome.
		Catholic tradition maintains that the institution of the Pontificate can be found in the Bible, and cites certain key passages in support of this contention.
		The flag most frequently associated with the pope is the yellow and white flag of Vatican City, with the arms of the Holy See ("Gules, two keys in saltire or and argent, interlacing in the rings or, beneath a tiara argent, crowned or") on the right hand side in the white half of the flag.

	The Disastrous Pontificate Of The Late Pope John Paul II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		If his pontificate is to then be praised for much, it can yet be denounced for much more as to grave and serious neglect regarding the defense and promulgation of Catholicism as the only and exclusive true Faith; all else, by definition, must then be mere idolatry, superstition, or worse.
		This then means that Catholicism and its proclaimed reality forever surpasses and is ever greater than any and all popes put together; this is as to its higher importance, vital significance, and spiritual reason for being -- that is the main point, the manifest focus, beyond all rational and theological dispute.
		The shining glow of his past pontificate may, therefore, prove to be just quite transitory at best, while real damage to the Church was necessarily done.

		One of the hallmarks of Pope John Paul II's pontificate has been this focus on embracing the Jewish community, and not just the Jewish community but other faiths as well.
		But the theological work of building those bridges that was really something from the latter part of his pontificate will, I imagine, be a significant challenge for his successor.
		The divide between the theological community and the bishops and popes increased during this pontificate, and that's going to have to be worked on to bring these people back together.
