Should we equal pope with GOD...?

Question

I read one paper news about people worshiping pope's statue in his village of birth.

Answer 1

The one newspaper was wrong.

Catholics do not say that the Pope is equal to God.

We say that the Pope is equal to Simon Peter, the first Pope.

We honor the Pope but do not worship him.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

I don't understand why people admire the pope or would worship a statue. The pope is a man. Any follower of Christ is not to be given honor and glory that is reserved for God. The pope in the eyes of God is no more important than a Christian person in Austin, Tx! There is no head of the church save Christ. Also we aren't suppose to worship idols and that would be an idol.

Answer 3

The Pope is NOT God's equal, and statues of him shouldn't be worshipped. I guess I would have to read the article to understand exactly what was going on in the village though...

Answer 4

Are you kidding me? The pope is a man, a mere man. Where on the other hand, Jehovah God is the supreme creator of the entire universe!! There is NO comparison or connection between the two!! If you look at the past histories of the popes, you will come to realize that there is no grounds for worshipping ( or in some cases, even vaguely respecting!) the pope of the catholic church.
Pope Victor (192) first approved of Montanism, and then condemned it. Marcellinus (296-303) was an idolater. He entered into the temple of Vesta, and offered incense to the goddess [her temple was the oldest pagan temple in Rome].Liberius (358) consented to the condemnation of Athanasius, and made a profession of Arianism, that he might be recalled from his exile and reinstated in his see. Honorius (625) adhered to Monothelitism: Father Gratry has proved it to demonstration. Gregory I (785-90) calls anyone Antichrist who takes the name of universal bishop, and contrariwise Boniface III (607-8) made the parricide Emperor Phocas confer that title upon him. Paschal II (1088-99) and Eugenius III (1145-53) authorized duelling; Julius II (1509) and Pius IV (1560) forbade it. Eugenius IV (1431-39) approved of the Council of Basle and the restitution of the chalice to the church of Bohemia; Pius II (1458) revoked the concession. Hadrian II (867-872) declared civil marriages to be valid; Pius VII (1800-23) condemned them. Sixtus V (1585-90) published an edition of the Bible, and by a bull recommended it to be read; Pius VII condemned the reading of it. Clement XIV (1700-21) abolished the order of the Jesuits, permitted by Paul III, and Pius VII re-established itStrossmayer briefly mentions the wicked history of popes Vigilius, Eugenius III, Stephen VI, John XI, XII and XXII, and Alexander VI. He could have extended the list and told about the lusts of Benedict IX, Gregory VI, Sylvester III, Julius II, Innocent VIII, Paul III, and many others, all of whom are officially listed by Annuario Pontificio (1947) as popes in good standing.

Coming now to the conclusion, we read: “Again I say, if you decree the infallibility of the present bishop of Rome, you must establish the infallibility of all the preceding ones, without excluding any; but can you do that when history is there establishing with a clearness equal only to that of the sun, that the popes have erred in their teaching? Could you do it and maintain that avaricious, incestuous, murdering, simoniacal popes have been vicars of Jesus Christ? Oh! venerable brethren, to maintain such an enormity would be to betray Christ worse than Judas!”

Because some say this speech was written by an Augustinian monk instead of by Strossmayer does not reduce its truthfulness in the least. The facts of history remain irrefutable. But if this historical discussion bores you, consider recent events and a current question: Was Pius XII infallible when he proclaimed that the fleshly body of Mary went to heaven? On the very face of it the statement is a lie, for the Catholic Douay Bible says plainly: “Flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.” (1 Cor. 15:50)
