Lord God the Pope

Do you seriously maintain, seriously now, that Cronos, Campion, Natural Law, I, or any other Catholic on Free Republic thinks the Pope is God?

You might also want to look the concept of "vicar" (cognate word, "vicarious" - also "vice" as in "vice-president"). When Evangmlw claims to be exercising a watchman's function he is claiming to be, in a certain respect, a vicar of God, whether he knows it or not.

Seriously now, no, and i do understand that “God” can refer to one is a positional sense, but i do see that the references overall evidencing an exaltation above that which is written, as is the assuredly infallible magisterium.

If Evangmlw is presenting him/herself as one who is especially protected from error when speaking on faith and morals (to the FR universal) rather than presenting an argument whose validity is based upon efficacy of Scriptural warrant, then Evangmlw is claiming the like.
