If the Pope were to commit suicide would he go to hell?
Upvote:3
The Pope does not get special treatment in spiritual matters such as Heaven, Hell and Judgement.
In other words, if you ask "Would the Pope go to hell if he did this?" the answer will always be the same as "Would a person go to Hell if he/she did this?", assuming other circumstances are the same.
As Ken Graham points out, suicide does not automatically send one to Hell, so there are other factors to consider. Those factors would be exactly the same as for someone who was not the Pope.
