I'm not the head of a huge, powerful, viciously oppressive organization.
No, you're just individually vicious. I have little doubt that the Catholic Church would be orders of magnitude worse if you were Pope--and for that matter that the United States would be orders of magnitude worse than the Catholic Church if you were President.
If opebo were somehow Pope, would anyone take him seriously? It's hard to imagine that the Catholic Church would be orders of magnitude worse no matter what you think of him because he'd be effectively powerless.
That's true, come to think of it. It would be orders of magnitude worse if he were a Renaissance Pope. It would just be a tawdry and more than a little embarrassing exercise for all concerned, including him, if he were a contemporary Pope.
