I keep my eyes on Jesus, I follow Him...I follow God's word....not the pope or anyone else. The pope, Mary, etc. can't save anyone...Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh to the Father, but by me". I have His blood applied...I pray for the pope and all others... however I have no reason to keep my eyes on the pope...in fact...I rather turn my eyes away from him, because if I'm focused on anyone other than the Lord, then I'll get off track, and that's not a risk I'm willing to take.
