No meat on Fridays during Lent
Actually, that is a man-made rule. The Bible never actually said to give up meat on Fridays. |

You can't eat meat on Friday or Ash Wednesday. And all Christians don't observe Lent. Just Catholics, and other branches of the church that stemmed and/or broke off from Catholicism. |

Is there a limit as to what declarations/statements he can make, is there like a council he has to pass through first?
I'm not trying to mess with you BTW, I'm honestly curious because I've been getting into the bible a little.

No, I'm actually glad your asking good questions.
and to answer, the Pope has supreme power, and is the highest ruling, (not including God of course) Anything he does can't be overruled and he doesn't have to go through a congress-like system or anything like that. |

Ok now I get it.
I'm assuming most of his laws are on religious grounds and mostly not political?

Yes. Although the pope holds somewhat a presence of political power I'd guess.

That would make sense since I would think him to be the President of the Vatican (even though it seems irrelevant)

Yeah, what Zim said.
The Pope used to basically be the ruler of Europe. Like, what happened during the Crusades, that was all from the pope. |

The pope is basically just a figure.
Albeit a controversial figure, but a figure. |
