RCC Catechism
The Pope is the Head of the Church"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." (#882, p. 254)
Bible
Jesus is the Head of the Church
God did not appoint Korol Wojtyla (John Paul II) to be the universal power over the whole Church. The Bible says the Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the church:
"For the husband is the head of the wife, even as CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH..." -Eph. 5:23
RCC Catechism
The Pope is the Supreme Pastor and Teacher"The Roman Pontiff...as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful.." (#891, p. 256)
Bible
The Holy Ghost is the Supreme Teacher
The Pope's position as "supreme pastor and teacher" is null and void, for the Bible says this position is already filled by someone else, and He will abide forever. Thus, there is no need to elevate Korol Wojtyla to take over the job that is reserved for the Holy Spirit alone.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
--John 14:26 "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH..."
-John 16:13 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you FOR EVER;"
--John 14:16
RCC Catechism
The Pope has Ultimate Power Over Every Soul"The Pope enjoys, by divine institution, supreme, full, immediate, and universal power in the care of souls" (#937, p.267)
"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." (#882, p. 254)
Bible
A Great Christian is a Servant(a) The disciples questioned among themselves who would be the greatest leader and Jesus told them that the greatest are the biggest servants. Jesus and John the Baptist were quite unlike Korol the pope with his big fancy hats and white royal attire and "power which he can ALWAYS exercise UNHINDERED (one aspect of a cult--a charismatic leader who tells followers what to do.)
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:25-28
(b) Korol Wojtyla, the current pope, allows himself to be called "Holy Father". This term is found ONCE in the entire Bible. It is in the garden of Gethsemane and Jesus is praying to God the Father:
...Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
John 17:11
Romanists call the pope God!!!!!! And Korol accepts it--even expects it!!!!!
(c) To take the name "Holy" father, is to try to steal God's glory and take a title that belongs to God alone. God is exceeding angry about this situation.
"Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for THOU ONLY ARE HOLY..."
--Rev. 15:4 "I am the LORD: that is my name: and MY GLORY WILL I NOT GIVE TO ANOTHER..."
--Isa. 42:8 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Exodus 34:14
