(false) Bishop of Rome

Last I checked, Pope Benedict XVI and nearly all other popes were in fact bishops of Rome.

Ratzinger is a false bishop of Rome because he is not elected by the congregation. Authoritarian, hierarchical verticalism is contraindicated by the Scriptural example of the early church and the churches of the Reformation.
