Vatican Council
The Vatican Council of 1870 declared & the Vatican Council II of 1965 confirmed the 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….”
