The Pope may have temporal power, but that does not make him a world dictator. The primacy given to Peter by Jesus was a spiritual primacy, 'whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven etc.'

The Catholic Church is the people of God, the spotless bride of Christ. Outside of her, there is no salvation.

The Pope does not tell me what to do or who to vote for on a political level. However, the moral teachings of the church (abortion is immoral, gay-marriage is not really marriage etc.) informs my political views and decisions.
