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.
Peter was kind of a jerk.So am I, but you don't catch ME going around in white dresses 'n stuff.
My alleged point is that both for popes and for that free-floating entity the magisterium, while there IS indeed a kind of reverence for the d00d himself on account of his age and, usually, learning and such, the real deal is that we are relying on God to do what we think He promised through jerks -- as He seems to have been pleased to do from early on.
So, while I like (but mostly on the report of a friend who knows him) PapaBenXVI and I like the stuff I've read (though J2P2 was better) my "trust" (for want of a better word) is not in Joey Ratzinger from Bavaria but in what I think God said he would do. So the "holy" (misused, but you know what I mean) awe is for PapaBenXVI as a locus where God acts. To the extent that I put off my shoes from off my feet, it is not because the ground is intrinsically holy, but because God seems to show Himself there.
Something like that, anyway.
