you expect me to think this would matter to someone who's supposed to be the head of the catholic religion? jesus expects you to die rather than betray your morals, why should it stop in nazi germany?
because he was a teenager, and u clearly have v little understanding of the catholic religion or what the pope is supposed to be
i mean, the ur-pope is st peter, and he denied ever knowing jesus because he thought he might end up tried with him. all the apostles ran away, rather than be caught with him
it's kind of a big part of the narrative: what do u do after that?
really? because i don't think i'd want someone to be in charge of a religion who didn't have any experience of failing horribly and dealing with that. they'd be terribly self-righteous, and wouldn't know how to cope with failure
