The new pope isn't the black pope, but hierarchically, he is definitely subservient to him. That's what the average person fails to comprehend. You can be prime minister of a country. But if you have sworn allegiance to a secret society, or secret order, with threats of death for betrayal, then your first duty is to your superior of that secret society or secret order. In the outside world they may hold a lower position. But they are always higher, and their instructions must be obeyed... It begs the question WHY are such secret societies and secret orders allowed to exist. The answer of course is public ignorance and apathy. It is a sad world we live in, where theft of land, war, terrorism, torture, murder, abduction, hypocrisy are orchestrated on a daily basis by a small number of insane men and women, hidden in the shadows, while the general public watch Easteners or Coronation St, football or X Factor. In the end, the public get what they tolerate.
