Pope Francis
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis
Pope Francis (17 December 1936) is the head of the Catholic Church. He has been sovereign of the Vatican City State since 13 March 2013.
4 Papacy (2013–present)
4.4 Early issues
The New York Times reported that the Vatican had formed the opinion in 2012 that the sisters' group was tinged with feminist influences, focused too much on ending social and economic injustice and not enough on stopping abortion, and permitted speakers at its meetings who questioned church doctrine.
However, in April 2015 the investigation was brought to a close. While the timing of the closure may have anticipated a visit by Francis to the U.S. in September 2015, it was noted that the sisters' emphasis is close to that of Francis.
4.6 Consultation with Catholic laity
The survey found that members of the Catholic Church are deeply divided over abortion, artificial contraception, divorce, the ordination of women, and married priests.
In a column he wrote for the Vatican's semi-official newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, the then-Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, American cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, who has a long-standing reputation as one of the church's most vocal conservative hard-liners, said that Francis opposed both abortion and gay marriage.

5.5 Morality
Cardinal Walter Kasper has called mercy "the key word of his pontificate."[312]: 31–32 His papal motto Miserando atque eligendo ("by having mercy and by choosing") contains a central theme of his papacy, God's mercy,
While maintaining the Catholic Church's traditional teaching against abortion, Francis, has referred to the "obsession" of some Catholics with a few issues like "abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods" which "do not show the heart of the message of Jesus Christ."

I do not know much about Catholic well.
But.
The Pope may not be a Dictator.
The Pope may be chosen Democratically.
I think that the Pope may be chosen with very complicated Voting System.
Or, do they say that the Pope is a Dictator?
