Well, that's not really surprising. At Vatican I, the Roman Church became quite simply the pope. That's bound to go to one's head!
"Wherefore we teach and declare that,
* by divine ordinance,
* the Roman church possesses a pre-eminence of ordinary power over every other church, and that
* this jurisdictional power of the Roman pontiff is both episcopal and immediate.
Chapter and verse, please. :-Þ
