"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.

So if he is not acting on Christ's behalf he can only be acting on Satan's behalf.

As you admit the pope doesn't always act on behalf of Christ then any claim to authority/teaching he has evaporates.

Again, this is why Christ did not build His church on a man. He built it on Himself...the One Who never fails.
