    I’m not religious so correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the Pope is a prophet? Like yeah he’s the official leader of the Catholic Church but I don’t think they believe that he convenes with god… I could be wrong though.

      There’s basically two things:

      • the Pope can make no mistake when talking on behalf of the whole church;
      • the Pope is assisted by the holy spirit when interpreting the word of God

      He is not a prophet but is supposed to have the “ear of god” and is his chosen representative in modern times. It really depends who you ask though, because all this shit is made up.
