Dude. Read the entire post before replying. Don't sample individual sentences and draw conclusions. If Pope has some secular governmental control of people in other nations, then Pope better damn well be democratically elected. Where, pray tell, did I even say the Pope IS democratically elected?

Please go back and first understand the context of that post. At no time did I say the Pope is democratically elected - stated or implied. Stated is that if THIS Pope wants to change the purpose and definition of the Church, then he better damn well be democratically elected.
