It all comes back to Christ because the pope is the Vicar of Christ and must speak the truth of Christ. If he doesn’t, then he should be reminded. Gently though, no one is perfect.

OK that is reasonable to say that as no-one is. I must admit the tone of the article makes it sound like the writer thinks of themselves as pretty close when he chooses to put the Pope alongside Luther and then alludes to his group as the continuing 2,000 year old Catholic Church, seemingly insinuating that any else is not including this Pope!

The pope is a man, Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior.

Which do you choose to believe? The Roman catechism, or God's Word?

"For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered." Pg. 234, #882 ........"The Roman Pontiff... as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful..." Pg. 235, #891
