Vatican Council
The Vatican Council of 1870 declared & the
Vatican Council II of 1965 confirmed these following claims about the Pope (verbatim from VC II) :
“is
SUPREME RULER of all Christians”
“is the HEAD OF THE ENTIRE, WHOLE CHRISTIAN CHURCH” on
earth
“is SUPREME JUDGE of all Christians”
“has absolute & full SUPREME
power over the whole Christian church so that all Christians may be taught & guided by him in the way of salvation”
“is father & teacher of all Christians”
“has full power of tending, ruling
& governing the whole church”
“possesses infallability to define all doctrines concerning
faith & morals to be held by the whole church”
“alone, has the highest word of authority
on earth & is not subject to revision by anyone”
“has SUPREME power & character
which is supported by the clear
witness of Holy Scripture”
“has the sole power, that
if anyone rejects him, or any Catholic
doctrine, that the Pope alone may pronounce that person anathema (accursed
& eternally condemned)…..”
“has determined that no one can depart from the Catholic
doctrine
without endangering his faith & salvation….”

my question is if he's all this, then who is Christ?
