U-2012>The title Pontiff or Pontifex Maximus is and was a Pagan title from Babylon.

Give it a rest. Just because you post in a bastardized version of Hebrew does not make you an expert in Latin. Pontiff is a Latin word meaning Bishop with its origins of a bridge builder. Pontifex Maximus was reserved for the Jewish High Priest and no one else.

I find no evidence of the Pontiff meaning Bishop.
I do find pontifex as bridge in Latin.

Where did you get the anti-semitic screed that
the Jewish high Priest was ever called Pontifex Maximus ??

It smacks of Jack Chick lies !!

Your anemic research skills are laid bare.

In Latin, bridge is pont (or ponticulus for "little bridge").

Pontifex is "bridge-maker."
