I honestly don’t think the pope has that kind of power. I’m pretty sure it’s a facade. Think of all the times their actions have been so minimal in any direction while their words swing one way or the other.
he’s the head of the a religion so powerful that it is it’s own nation state, with 1.4 billion followers. They have 78 billion-ish that we know if, in net worth.
he calls practically any other head of state, they pick up the phone. They may not do what he asks, but they still pick up the phone.

The pope ain’t powerless, and he’s almost certainly the most powerful religious leader in the world.
