"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be."-- Abp. Fulton Sheen
The Pope is a man, a man is not the Church. POTUS is always the primary leader of America but following them blindly is the opposite of encouraged. The Pope is the leader of Catholicism, the same concept applies. Also the Pope is only a leader of spirituality and religion, not of politics.
Why does everyone think Catholics blindly follow the Pope?

Many Catholics wouldn’t either, even if he was a good Pope.
