"We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty"(Pope Leo XIII, Encylical Letter, 20 June 1894)
"The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ himself, hidden under veil of flesh."(The Catholic National, July 1895)
"Not the Creator of the Universe, in Genesis 2:1-3, but the Catholic Church can claim the honour of having granted man a pause to his work every seven days" S D Mosna, Storia della Domenica, 1969
Pope John Paul II told Roman Catholics to seek forgiveness through the church and not directly from God. The requirement for confessing sin through priests is one of the fundamental principles of Roman Catholicism.(Associated Press, 11 December 1984)
The Vatican said that Catholics could gain indulgence, or the pardon of temporal punishment of sin, by devoutly taking part in some of the Marian year activities.(Associated Press, 17 February, 1987)
"The Catholic Church regards dogmatic intolerance not alone as her incontestable right, but also as a sacred duty. However repulsive the barbarous cruelty of mediaeval penal ordinances may be we may not for this reason condemn the whole penal system of that age as judicial murder, for the legal punishments, while indeed inhuman, were not unjust. Heretics may be not only excommunicated, but also justly put to death."(The Catholic Encyclopaedia, 1911, vol. 14)

The Pope is Jesus Christ? Anyone see him hanging on a cross lately?

The Pope is Jesus Christ? Anyone see him hanging on a cross lately? I had never seen those quotes, but they are eye opening. Jesus Christ is in Heaven at the right hand of God the Father. He did not come back as the Pope, and how does that work? Does he possess the Pope when he is appointed and leave him if he resigns? I am glad my parents left the Catholic Church when I was too young to remember it.

The Catholic Church changed some of the 10 commandments around- if ya read them in a Catholic Bible and in a regular Bible you'd see the difference. They split one commandment into two and claim the 4th commandment means Sunday worship.( or some such)
