"The Pope does also have another title, "Vicar of Christ" wherein he stands in Christ's place here on earth, over Christ's Church."

There's the rub. I agree with the rest of the comment.

It is a little misleading when we Catholics ascribe the title "Vicar of Christ" uniquely to the Pope. The Catholic tradition is that every bishop is a Vicar of Christ for his flock - not just the Pope.

Neither does a bishop receive his munera from the Pope, but directly from Christ to whom he is configured as an ikon.
