Their ministers invent grandiose titles for themselves like "The High Honorable Rev. Prophetess Cleophanous Jones, Seer of Truth". I don't know where they get this stuff from, but its certainly not the Bible.

Are you sure you want to go there?

How about showing us FROM THE BIBLE, just where any of THESE following terms some from? Book, chapter, and verse please.....

Matthew 23: 8-10 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope#Official_list_of_titles

The official list of titles of the Pope, in the order in which they are given in the Annuario Pontificio, is:

Bishop of Rome
Vicar of Jesus Christ
Successor of the Prince of the Apostles
Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church
Primate of Italy
Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province
Sovereign of the Vatican City State
Servant of the servants of God.
