super duper priest here on earth The book of Hebrews makes clear there is no need for any super priests. Nor is there any need for someone to usurp the title Vicar of Christ. The Lord indeed sent Another to take His place here on earth to be with us always, but He isn't on a throne in Rome. And in fact, claiming the power that belongs to the Holy Spirit alone, what is that?

And in fact, claiming the power that belongs to the Holy Spirit alone, what is that? It is a great example of why the Apostolic Era churches were independent and controlled at the local level. A hierarchy inevitably puffs itself up and makes itself more important than it is. The problem is once it's been established it's very hard to reform it, if at all.
Is it as bad as the Marian heresy? I don't believe so.
