If the pope is the "representative" of Christ and acts/represents on His behalf, then you are calling Christ an idiot when you call His rep an idiot.

this is why Christ didn't build His church on a man. He built it on Peter's confession that Christ is the Son of God. He, Christ that is, is the rock the church is built upon. Not a failed man.

"If the pope is the "representative" of Christ and acts/represents on His behalf, then you are calling Christ an idiot when you call His rep an idiot."

The pope is SUPPOSED to act on Christ's behalf. As we see, he often does not. Calling one person an idiot does not extend beyond that person. The title is attached to his person alone.
