Every pope was and is likewise just a fallible man.
They differ in that Calvin did not presume to blaspheme by calling himself "another Christ" or the "head of the church on earth."

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." -- Matthew 12:36
***Calvin was just a fallible man saved by grace alone.***
I find it odd that he is quoted as if he wasn’t.
***Every pope was and is likewise just a fallible man.***
He finds himself as the successor of Peter, another fallible man, and head of the Church of Jesus Christ. Surely that is worth a modicum of consideration.
***They differ in that Calvin did not presume to blaspheme by calling himself “another Christ” or the “head of the church on earth.”***
Calvin had no authorization to do anything of the sort. He had no Apostolic succession or anything else other than personal hubris. Calvin was a heretic in at least six definable heresies. His blasphemies include calling the Pope an antichrist.
