[OLD REGGIE]

What was James I for the Anglicans? Martin Luther, John Calvin and Zwingli?

How about John Smyth? John Smith? Mary Baker Eddy?

Certainly not Pope.

Merriam Webster Online Dictionary defines Pope: Main Entry: pope Pronunciation: \ˈpōp\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Old English pāpa, from Late Latin papa, from Greek pappas, papas, title of bishops, literally, papa Date: before 12th century 1often capitalized : a prelate who as bishop of Rome is the head of the Roman Catholic Church 2: one that resembles a pope (as in authority) I submit that the cast presented to you in their own fashion, to their own ends, supplanted the Pope in Rome with their own authority. My statement stands.
