because historically a lot of popes have been dickheads who just used their money and power for personal pleasure and ignored the duties of their role.

If you were from a very unorganized and provincial religion like Shinto is and you heard that some religion far away is led by a guy wearing ridiculously fancy clothes living in a ridiculously opulent palace who held power over countless kings and who was chosen by the One True God [again, in a religion with a countless number of those] to be the one representative of his will on Earth you'd want to put all that crazy nonsense in your game too.

Because Catholics are /fa/. A pope boss battle means you can justify the stage being a fuckhuge gothic cathedral with candles, colorful windows, statues supported by organ/choir music.

what are some games that let me be the Pope

Because the catholic church is the work of satan and you will all burn

Japs recognize organized religion as the sham that it is.

You do realize that you're going to hell?

Not a member of organized religion here but that's not their argument. Their argument is that you can only be a good person by society's standards but that's meaningless because by God's infinitely high standard you're a bad person unless you buy into a certain set of beliefs. Practically, this has mixed results. Some religious people are humble and caring, some religious people are rather shallow and self-righteous.

Stems from the days when evangelists came to Japan and tried to convert Japanese people to Christianity. Japanese government got scared of the religion growing too powerful and influential, and banned Christianity for a time.

Except Catholic doctrine has long recognized the concept of the Virtuous Heathen, who even if he denies christianity or lives in a far away land and has never heard of it, as long as he lives a virtuous life according to principles that are compatible with that of the christian religion he's as likely to be saved as any practicing Christian. I'm not a particularly religious person but even I know this.

Sup Forums is the only place where Christian can scream at people for not believing their imaginary friend.

don't they end up in purgatory or limbo? In Catholic belief I think Jesus descends into limbo after the crucifixion to deliver those souls, and after that everyone who is unbaptized is simply screwed, or they get an even longer waiting period.

What about this game where you're the Duke's hitman and villains are cultist, terrorists, mercenaries and conspirators.

Hey, I'm just telling you what most church's official stance is. They rationalize it by saying that since we're less than insects compared to God, we don't have the right to bitch about it.

There are different theologies though. Eastern Orthodox believes heaven and hell are the same place, but bad people can only feel shame in such a holy place. Swedenborg, who influenced the New Church, believes that though God wishes all to Heaven, people's afterlife are shaped by their nature they developed in life, and bad people make their own bad afterlifives. Then there are the universalists who practically only believes in a temporary (but still awful) purgatory.

I'd imagine there are disagreements in the Catholic church regarding that. It's not a completely monolithic church.

>a lot
Name at least 30

CK2.

I thought limbo was just reserved for unbaptized babies.

the current pope is a literal antipope helping accelerate the destruction of europe, so I wouldn't defend popes right now

Why do you pretend to give a shit?

If he has infinitely high standards then logically we should all be going to hell.

He sent his son to fulfill those impossible standards
