Last I checked, Catholics are Christian.
Catholics are indeed Christians even though I disagree with some of the stuff they do. This pope looks like a great leader in the Catholic Church and a nice guy in general.

I'm just going to be here telling you guys that not all Christians follow the Pope, and not all Christians celebrate Christmas and Easter.

Please stop assuming that all of us do, although don't get mad at me for pointing this out.

Also, the Pope is real nice to people... I wish more people were like him. Can you imagine if everyone acted like that? This would be a pretty perfect world.

Meow, didn't you say that you weren't Christian...?

Anyway, I know all the movements of Christianity are very different (far more so than the different movements of Judaism, for example), I just thought "Christian" rather than "Catholic" because the first is, IDK, more obvious?

Sorry, I'm rambling.

Nope. Totally Christian.
Just weird...

17. He took part in a selfie
this made my day, and after research I have made a minor mistake. Christians and Chatjolics and muslims are part of the same religion but they split off into seperate religions. I do support this guy though he is excellent but I do disagree with some of the stuff Catholics do also.

Islam isn't the same as Christianity any more than Christianity is the same as Judaism. Judaism came from Isaac, Islam came from Ishmael, and Christianity came from Jesus (Yeshua). Islam in general doesn't carry with it the belief that Jesus was the Messiah, just a prophet or wise man. They all came from Judaism, to some extent; for several centuries, in fact, Christianity was generally considered a denomination of Judaism, until they made an effort to distance themselves from it.

Furthermore, Catholicism is as much Christianity as Protestantism, Orthodoxy, Evangelicalism, or any other Christian denomination.

Christianity describes any religion that follows the person and teachings of Jesus Christ. Catholicism is a subset (denomination) of Christianity.

All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholics ;)

Woah woah woah, let's not get carried away here!

But yes, I do like Pope Francis. Aside from his personality, it's nice that "Pope Emeritus" Benedict XVI is still around... normally getting a new pope is a somewhat bittersweet event, because the previous pope had very recently passed away.

Yeah he is a great guy but when has doing your job correctly turned into being a great person? The church is supposed to help the poor and help the oppressed. Why? They are supposed to because their bible tells them too. The pope just happens to be one of the first people in the public eye to do so. If anything rather than just thinking he's a great guy we can rather strive to be more kind in our own lives. The world would be pretty dang perfect if everyone was like this and you don't have to be christian or catholic to be nice.
