    because Jesus appointed Peter as the first one. Jesus didn't appoint 2 men to lead the first Church. Tradition is to have one pope at a time. Grow up

    There is only one Pope and you have three choices:

    1: Like it.

    2: Love it.

    3: Be thrilled over it.

    Well two people don't always agree on everything. Its like how there is only one president or prime minister. There would be too many arguments between the two of them that nothing would ever get done.

    OMG, the Catholic Church cannot even handle ONE Pope. What ever would they do with two???

    They tried that in the late 14th-early 15th centuries.

    The results were not only endless lulz, but it temporarily put an end to the official doctrine of Papal infallibility.

    Two are not needed that is why. He is second in command of the Catholic Church and it will forever stay that way.-Jesus Christ

    That is the same thing as saying that since I have two parents, there should be two presidents.
