Which completely ignores the fact that devote Catholics believe first and foremost in their relationship to their god. The Pope and his bureacracy - some of whom are child molesters - is not the religion and not important to devout Catholics. Only those who worship a church bureacracy would have a conflict between political office and their religion. Only those who worship the church and its pope, in reality, worship a false idol. The truly devout worship the god - and do not put false idols (ie pope) before it - the first commandment.
