| | Pope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The pope derives his Pontificate from being Bishop of Rome but is not required to live there; according to the Latin formula ubi Papa, ibi Curia, wherever the pope resides is the central government of the Church, provided that the pope is Bishop of Rome. | | | Catholic tradition maintains that the institution of the Pontificate can be found in the Bible, and cites certain key passages in support of this contention. | | | As such, between 1309 and 1378 the popes lived in Avignon (the Avignon Papacy), a period often called the Babylonian Captivity in allusion to the Biblical exile of Israel. |

| | Ecumenism in Pontificate of John Paul II |
| | John Radano who heads the Western Section of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, that: "The engagement of the Catholic Church in favour of ecumenism is definitive and irrevocable for this reason: the prayer of the Lord who asks that his disciples 'be one' is eternal. | | | The Catholic Church, through the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, fosters relations with the World Council of Churches of which she is not a member. | | | The Pontifical Council maintains close relations with a large number of non-Catholic Churches, in particular with the World Council of Churches and other international organizations that deal with the issue of Christian unity. |

| | The Disastrous Pontificate Of The Late Pope John Paul II |
| | If his pontificate is to then be praised for much, it can yet be denounced for much more as to grave and serious neglect regarding the defense and promulgation of Catholicism as the only and exclusive true Faith; all else, by definition, must then be mere idolatry, superstition, or worse. | | | This then means that Catholicism and its proclaimed reality forever surpasses and is ever greater than any and all popes put together; this is as to its higher importance, vital significance, and spiritual reason for being -- that is the main point, the manifest focus, beyond all rational and theological dispute. | | | In conclusion, Pope John Paul II was, of course, a towering and rightly impressive figure who was superbly larger than life on the world stage, but he progressed vainly, during his spiritually strange pontificate, as the Western world obviously fell ever more into gross nihilism, destruction, degeneracy, and decay. |

| | National Catholic Reporter: Obituary of Pope John Paul II |
| | To take the latter point first: This pontificate’s relationship with the national hierarchies was marred by the manner in which the Roman curia communicated with the archbishops and bishops of the world. | | | Whatever may be said publicly, John Paul II did not endear himself to some of his brother bishops, either in the exercise of “collegiality” or in the way in which he permitted some Vatican Congregations in particular, and the Roman curia in general, to deal with them. | | | The pope also had a deep, abiding belief that his pontificate was guided by higher forces. |

| | The Future and the Popes |
| | The time of Peter the Roman's Pontificate is described in Apocalyptic terms because His Pontificate will see the beginning of the events described in the Book of Revelation, especially the beginning of World War III (which is the first of the seven seals and the first of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse). | | | As a description of his Pontificate, the phrase “Peter the Roman” indicates that this Pope reaffirms the authority of the Pope over the Church, authority based on his place as a Successor of Peter. | | | The descriptions given for John Paul I and II were about their Pontificates, not about their lives before they were elected Pope. |

| | Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly . COMMENTARY . The Pontificate of John Paul II . April 8, 2005 PBS |
| | The divide between the theological community and the bishops and popes increased during this pontificate, and that's going to have to be worked on to bring these people back together. | | | One of the hallmarks of Pope John Paul II's pontificate has been this focus on embracing the Jewish community, and not just the Jewish community but other faiths as well. | | | I imagine that that would be one of the major challenges for the next pope -- reaching out, not just to the Jewish community but to the Muslim community and to other faiths across the world. |
