It not so much about the ideology, more the heritage. In this case I'm not interested in the ecumenism and consensus between the factions, but the evolution of all the Christian churches. Christians is the name for all followers of Jesus, it is not dependent on the "sub-church" that you belong to. And I say that there are many Christians, not particularly Catholics, that have lost sighting of what I once thought Christianity to be, but that is my own opinion, as is everyone else's. It also points out why there are so many branches, people definitely don't see eye to eye when it comes to how God should be worshiped and how to follow the word of Christ the best.
As for the pope, I think he's a dangerous puppet on a string, and saying that he's a fraud doesn't bother me at all
But there are more absurd translations in the Bible. Take the Finnish one for example. In all old Bibles, a creature called "the noble deer" is mentioned. Care to guess what animal it is?

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
