NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the Catholic pope, and a sinner with confessionals to show.
Funny, because it seems the Pope does consider Catholics (and himself) to be not only Christians, but the real Christians.

Also, I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that Catholics don't think the Bible has any historicity to it.
As a former Catholic, step your damn game up supposedly-currently-catholic.
