Living in any era, to some extent, comes with a handful of pressures to uphold ideals considered becoming of that era. For better or worse, that includes spiritual leaders from thousands of years ago who lived in what they considered more fertile norms.
During the early Roman empire, the pope and infamously even Jesus had to watch his step with the officers. Today the EU exists where Rome once stood (if we’re not arguing the EU is in fact Rome’s new manifestation) and the pope again must bend or be broken.

Could you remind us who was the Pope before Jesus?
Pope Sheev Palpatine.
Being charitable I think he means the Pope and Jesus alike had to watch themselves in light of political officers of Rome and such.
Saint Peter or are you trying to put words in OPs mouth lol?
