Trade the word "persuasion" for "the papacy" and this fits what you and every other true believer does. He is just listening to reason and his heart while you continue to read that tired old book like a lawyer.
But he not in the position as every other believer. He dictates policy,and as such should be the one reading the book like a lawyer. The pope doesn't get to 'feel' the pope is tied to representing God.
