[P-Marlowe]

The Pope is the visible head of the whole Catholic Church.

Jesus Christ is the head my Church.

And he [Christ] is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:18 KJV)

[Iscool]

Kinda makes me proud to be a heretic...

[NYer]

Jesus Christ is the head my Church.

He is also the head of the Catholic Church. From Him, we learn obedience, for it is our Lord who heeded His Father in choosing Peter.

Matthew
Chapter 16

13

⁸ When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi ⁹ he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

14

They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, ¹⁰ others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

15

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

16

¹¹ Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

17

Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood ¹² has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.

18

And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, ¹³ and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.

19

I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. ¹⁴ Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
