I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.

My duties are wider than those of the Pope. The Pope is only concerned with the spiritual welfare of his flock.

Anyone who wants to be pope doesn't care much for themselves, God doesn't bless them. I didn't want to be pope.

We're all expendable. We think the world's going to stop when a pope dies, or a king. And then... life goes on.

I can't stay mad at Pope Frank. I just can't. It's a funny situation that I like the pope and Mel Gibson doesn't.

I am an atheist, and if an atheist and a pope think the same things, there must be something true. It's that simple!

To be honest, I don't really care about any pope. It's not something I think about much, to be quite honest with you.

The pope is a very... passionate man. He likes to get out with the people, and with that comes a large security risk.

Stan Musial, who said, Why didn't they make me the first Polish pope? I was such a good Cardinal. Never got a dinner!

If all the priests go we all want to be married and the pope goes all priests should be married than I say go for it.

The Pope is not putting himself out on a limb, he's putting himself up on the Cross, and that's what he's called to do.

In the case of Papa Pope, certainly he's making his daughter's world and the world of the republic a much better place.

I don't know why I have these dreams. I've never wanted to be Pope. In fact, I have a greater affinity to Martin Luther.

Tearing up a picture of the Pope comes under the heading of a Comedy Killer. It kind of breaks the spirit of the evening.

Pope John Paul II not only visited Nigeria twice but stood by the country in its fight against dictatorship and injustice.

If the Pope plans to spend the majority of his time advocating for flawed climate change policies, then I will not attend.

If the Pope urged the Western nations to rescue persecuted Christians in the Middle East, I would back him wholeheartedly.

It is particularly moving, and I can say this also as a Protestant Christian, that a German - one of us - has been made Pope.

Pope actually said that maybe I'm not a good Christian or something. It's unbelievable. Which is really not a nice thing to say.

In 1054, the patriarch of Constantinople and the pope excommunicated each other. That was the end of holiness for both churches.

If I could do shoes for anyone, it would be a special project for the Queen of England. She and the Pope are the ultimate clients.

"You don't believe what you read in the papers about anything else; why do you believe it about the pope?" That's where I'd start.

By the time you have your protagonist attempting to assassinate the Pope, you've sort of signaled that everything is on the table.

No compassion will be tolerated for the Jews. We deny the Pope’s statement that there is but one human race. The Jews are parasites.

From his first hours as pope, Francis has re-enacted or spoken of the great pastoral transformation of Vatican II as his own agenda.

A deadly sins addendum is long overdue. Life has changed since Pope Gregory the Great scribbled his initial list in the sixth century.

The usual Republican suspects lined up to side with Trump, chastizing Pope Francis for insinuating that the candidate isn't Christian.

It rarely adds anything to say, 'In my opinion' - not even modesty. Naturally a sentence is only your opinion; and you are not the Pope.

The greatest empiricists among us are only empiricists on reflection: when left to their instincts, they dogmatize like infallible popes.

The ultimate binding element in the medieval order was subordination to the divine will and its earthly representatives, notably the pope.

I would say that every pope has had people within his administration who have had difficulties one way or another with his administration.

When greeting Pope Benedict a few years ago, I was meant to kiss the papal ring but I head-butted his hand instead. He just laughed at me.

The new Pope knows that his task is to make the light of Christ shine before men and women of world - not his own light, but that of Christ.

It is my hope that Pope Francis realizes his time is better spent focusing on matters like religious tolerance and the sanctity of all life.

Rarely has a new player on the world stage captured so much attention so quickly - young and old, faithful and cynical - as has Pope Francis.

I met the Queen, the Pope, and we went all over Europe and Asia. I just wish I was older when I did all this. Then I could appreciate it more.

"What did the pope say? I like the pope. I mean, was it good or bad?"Because if it's good, I like the pope. If it's bad, I don't like the pope.

There's more religion in my little finger than there is in the pope. But no, I don't believe in God. I am an athiest. A Darwinian evolutionist.

The world, more suffering than sinning, turns toward Pope Francis as in a conversation people turn to the person who is making sense of things.

As my grandma used to say, 'Between now and then, a pope could be born.' We never say what's going to happen tomorrow. We make the most of today.

I really want the pope to come into the pulpit and tell Filipinos to their faces what's wrong with them, because we refuse to listen to ourselves.
