  1. I think the pope is important to catholics because he is the leader of all catholics and a big inspiration to all catholic priests. He is the head of christ's church on Earth. He is not Christ, but the representative of him, that is why every christian looks up to him. The pope guides us, like we are his sheep, and he is our shephard.Conclusion: The pope is important to us catholics because he is respected by everyone in the catholic religion because, he blesses them and makes them feel good and also helps them in their time of need.

    The reason why the pope is so important because he is a person as a Saint. He is important to catholics because he is a good leader and he loves God and he is a person who express their feeling about God. The things he does are important because he helps people and he is a good leader to follow. He represent God, it so important to represent God when you are a catholic pope because you love God and you talk about him and you worship him.

  4. the pope is so important to catholics because he has been chosen by god to be the leader/head of the catholic church.Without a leader, the faith can go in any wild direction and base faith on anything some person in the world decides as long as they can get a few to follow them.

  7. I think that the pope is an important person because he is like the person you have to go through before you go to jesus and god that is how important i think he is to catholics. and I think that what he does is very important too because he is like the high priest and the one that is just below jesus christ and god. And he is like one of jesus' desiples.

  16. I think the pope is important to catholics becuase he guides us through paths,he helps us to understand what God expects from us. He has the keys to Gods kingdom,and will show us how to get there. He is a holy person,preaching about Jesus Christ our lord and God the almighty father. The pope is important to us catholics as he blesses everyone,as he excepts us to be loving,respectal,kind,genorous shareful,caring and most of all loving. As the pope tells us that we are not like bread as bread is cut to half and go seperate places,but we are friends,we care for each other and love and respect each other,as we should love one another as god loves you. He also tells us to always frogive no matter what. Victoria Akinyombo

  17. I think the Pope is important to Catholics because to us the Pope is a ceremonial leader. The Pope sits on a very important chair the "Chair of Peter”, the first ever Pope. He is there to guide us in the way that God wants us to, to follow the right path, know what’s right or wrong to make right choices but sometime we can still make mistakes. He is very holy and he preaches to us about God and Jesus Christ. It is told that he holds the key to Gods kingdom. The Pope is there so we can follow him to the right direction.

  23. I think the pope is important to us because like they say "the pope has the keys to heven" he opens up the world to us in a different way and shows us another path like to live life to the full but aswell as that belive in God and Jesus.He shows the correct path to us but lets us make mistakes because without mistakes we cant learn and know what will happen if we do it but next time to know why not to make a wrong choice again .But the most important thing is that the pope explains in a way we understand the Bible to tell us what path God has chosen for us and he explains how he wants us to live by making the better choices. by Simona 7 parker

    The pope is so important because he is Jesus's assistant - but he is on earth! He holds the keys to the kingdom of God. We can get closer to God through him. He is like a role model to us and we look up to him this is why the pope is so important.
