Actually it is the statement of a person that understands that every protestant is his or her own pope.
Unlike Catholics, who cannot think for themselves because they have to obey the Pope and let him do their thinking for them. Unless, of course, its one of those times they have to think for themselves, especially one of those times when they have to disagree with the Pope, in the name of following the Church which is distinguished by obedience to the Pope. Anyway, people who don't have a Pope just don't get it. The Pope is not a toy. If you have a Pope it means living a life of strict obedience to the idea of constantly having to follow the teachings of the Pope that you agree with, which Protestants cannot even begin to comprehend, since they just decide everything for themselves and wouldn't know spiritual discipline if it burned them at the stake.
