Because Christ was and because the Catholic Church is.

In case you wonder, no, the Catholics who are not Young Earth Creationist may be using a licence or may be heretics or apostates, but are not representative of the history of the Church.

The Pope accepted the theory of evolution, you know that, right?

Whom are you referring to?

Not Pope Michael, I hope?

Nope I am talking about the official pope Francis. Is there more than one pope at a time?

You know, there was more than one claimant for a certain amount of time between Rome and Avignon.

Since 1958 or sth at least, there have again been at least two claimants at a time.

The ones you term “official” are, to the rest (all or most of whom are YEC) out on the same principle that Obama was never elected President if he was not born a US American citizen.

One criterium, not the only, but a necessary one, for a Pope, is to be Catholic.

The Church has a right to have a Pope, hence, if perhaps Pacelli, even more certainly Roncalli, Montini, his immediate successor, Wojtyla, Ratzinger and now Bergoglio, especially, are not giving the Church the benefit of having a papacy, it can and should be provided by someone else.

It can be added that some places you can be persecuted for not believing “Francis” is the Pope or for not believing “Benedict XVI” was pope.

Take a look at these two, I saw the first:
