Being head of the Church on earth makes the Pope “equal” to Christ??? The only Catholics who believe that are in mental hospitals.

The title of the pope is the VICAR of Christ.. The word Vicar means ANOTHER ..the pope is "another christ"

Of course she is wrong, but that isn't a surprise. At least here is what Merriam-Webster says Vicar means:

Definition of VICAR

1
: one serving as a substitute or agent; specifically : an administrative deputy
2
: an ecclesiastical agent: as
a : a Church of England incumbent receiving a stipend but not the tithes of a parish
b : a member of the Episcopal clergy or laity who has charge of a mission or chapel
c : a member of the clergy who exercises a broad pastoral responsibility as the representative of a prelate
— vic·ar·ship noun

"The word Vicar means ANOTHER ..the pope is "another christ""

Get real. Not content to distort Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholicv Church you now distort the English Language to make your false points. A vicar is a representative, one acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior. The title is comparable to lieutenant, literally the "place-holder".

Just a reminder of the falsehoods you use here:
