The Westminster Confession of Faith
Chapter XXV
Paragraph VI:

There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ.[13] Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God.[14]

Maybe so in 1647, but I hardly think that an apt descriptive today. The author should have stopped with simple statement of fact that Jesus is the head of the church. Everything south of that was just opinion.
