Obligation of Catholics to the Pope?	John	Saturday, September 15, 2012
Question: What is the Pope's jurisdiction in terms of governance and authority? -Is everything that the pope says infallible or obligatory to follow? - is his authority limited to faith and morals? - if so, what is the definition of faith and morals? What obligations do Catholics have to the Pope? - What kind of attitude should Catholics have towards the Pope? - How should Catholics treat his message(s)? Please be as detailed as possible.
Question Answered by Dear John: This sounds like a college assignment, which I do not provide that service, or that you have some issue that you wish to disagree with the Pope. It would be better just to tell me what your issue is then I can better answer your questions in full context. God Bless, Bro.
