The Pope is not infallible and does not speak for Christianity, hence why we had a reformation. The Pope could believe that God didn’t exist and it would not change my beliefs on the matter. Telling a Reformed Christian, “Well the Pope believes it therefore you should too!” is actually a bit humorous.
