Jesus said all authority was given to HIM.

You do know that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow?

Not to the pope, but to Jesus.

The popes who are taking that kind of adoration are robbing God. They obviously never took any lessons from Herod in Acts 12.

And he devolved that authority on the Church, which is to say the elders and the assembly.

you really know nothing about the Catholic church do you?? Catholics do not bow to the pope as a man, we bow to his position as vicar of Christ, as the representative of Christ on earth. A soldier does not salute a general because he is John Smith...they salute his EARNED office.

the Pope is a man, he is the bishop of Rome, he was elected by his peers to be pope, he is as human as you and I and is subject to every weaakness that we are.
