In a nutshell, everyone became their own Pope.

[Persevero]

That could be a danger, but I think the idea was the Bible became “Pope,” in other words, the Bible became the standard rather than the current Pope or the college of cardinals, etc.

I prefer this. Popes and Cardinals are fallible. God’s word is not.

Of course my interpretation of God’s word could be fallible; but so could theirs.

I think it is the best thing to start with the infallible thing: God’s word. I’m not denying that it can be misinterpreted. But I say the Pope can misinterpret just like any other man.

Actually, I think it would be more accurate to say that no one needs a pope.

God gave us his Word. Man gives us a pope.

As for me, I’ll go with God.

In a nutshell, everyone became their own Pope.

That is exactly the lie by which the RC Church has destroyed the potential for Christian unity for 500 years.
