Just getting back to you on that reference to the Pope saying, "I am God on the earth" to his audience in the vatican throne room.

Here it is in total:
"On the 30th of April, 1922, in the Vatican Throne Room, a throng of Cardinals, Bishops, Priests, and Nuns, boys and girls, who all fell on their knees, were addressed fromthe Throne by Pope Pius XI., who, in a haughty tone, said: 'You know that I am the Holy Father, the representative of God on the earth, the Vicar of Christ, which means that I am God on the earth.'" (Quoted from "The Bulwark", October, 1922, reporting on the speach which was heard by those attending, including some reporters.)

I have many more quotes made by various popes over the years that are very pointed and self-condemning. Perhaps I should post them? I am sure they will not be received very well by the RC's on board :-)

I wonder how many of the rabid RC’s will sign onto the chorus of affirmations of such a declaration.

Or will they slink off to rant about some PRETEND Protty “hate” in some imaginary spot.

Boy, is that ever one we need to remember.

Thank you for taking the time to look it up and note the reference.
