Some people ask me why I would dare call
myself the Pagan Pope, or even that the very idea of a Pagan Pope is
ludicrous at best and offensive at worst. Anyone claiming to be Pagan
Pope would only do so as a blatant attempt at power. Pagans would never
submit themselves to such a hierarchy, so what can a Pagan Pope ever
hope to achieve if he can never claim any power over the community?
To this idea,
I ask this question: if I, as the Pagan Pope, write an article or make a
statement, will you agree/disagree with it because of my self-imposed
title, or will you agree/disagree based on your own information,
reasoning, and feelings on the matter.
I believe the answer to
be the latter and that is why I lay claim to the title. I don't want to
be right or wrong, but I'm hoping to make a meaningful contribution to
the discussion.
And I've always wanted to be Pope. I can't lie: it's a factor. The hat rawks.
