The Pope is the "vicar" of Christ ( The word "vicar" means one who serves as a substitute, and is derived from the word "vicarious.")

The Priest is another Christ, and a mediator between God and men

1Ti 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

It seems like they have many Christ's as was prophesied :

Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.

And of course Mary and the Saints are also mediators between Christ and men.

Is no Catholic able to approach the throne of God for Himself?

Hbr 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
