The Pope is the Vicar of Christ, in a continuous line stretching back to St. Peter who was commissioned by Him to lead His Church on Earth.

John Calvin was not.

Calvin was just a fallible man saved by grace alone.

Every pope was and is likewise just a fallible man.

They differ in that Calvin did not presume to blaspheme by calling himself "another Christ" or the "head of the church on earth."

Whereas, every pope does.
