Hmmm...a little study would not say that :-)
The Pope claims to take the place of Christ on earth, in other words, His "vicar". It is sad that most Christians don't realize the true meaning of the Greek term "anti" which the apostle John attached to the term "Christ." It doesn't really mean "against", but "in the stead of". So, as head of "the" church, the Pope takes the place of Christ here on earth - could one not rightly call the Pope an anti-christ spoken of by John? Many of the reformers of the past, and even some today, believe so. I, personally, do not call the Pope "the anti-Christ", I just bring out what others have called the Pope because of his pride in being called the "Head" of the Church of Christ on earth, and "infallible" in doctine and morals.
What think you?
Matter of fact, any Catholic priest, not only the Pope is a vicar of Christ as he acts in the person of Christ when offering the sacrifice of the Mass (”do it in memory of me”). The “vicar of Christ” is one of the traditional titles of the Pope, of course, but once we are into analysis of what it means, here you go.
