Excuse me? Get out your bible and look up Corinthians Chapter 4 Verse 15.

1Co 4:15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Are you claiming Paul was the Pope?

” Are you claiming that Paul was Pope...”

Of course not. Paul became a father to his Corinthians. This is clear. The apostles (elders/ presbyters/ priests)were fathers to the early Church.

Scripture!

Also - yours is a mistranslation;

countless guides??

I don’t think so.

The vulgate says; for if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many Fathers.

It is important to get the correct tanslation. KJV and protestants edited words - they have a fear of the Father word ... be aware.
