You offered (to assist BIshop Briscoe): "What I think Bishop Briscoe was saying is that God chooses one man at a time to receive revelation to guide the entire Church ... That man is the President of the Church, often called "the Prophet" by the members."

Does that mean that the Pope is a dual authority with the current president of the Mormon religion? Do we have two religions lifting up Christ, by dual authority, or is there one which is more authorized than the other?

Although I admire the Pope, I do not recognize his authority. Only one man is authorized to receive revelation for the Church, and that is President Gordon B. Hinckley.
