Ahhhh, yes – another ignorant anti-Catholic taking quotes OUT of context.
When will you guys EVER learn to do your homework??
The alleged “quote” actually appeared in the Protestant magazine Evangelical Christendom, January 1, 1895. It also appeared in another Protestant magazine, “Church Review,” in England, October 3, 1895. The article in the magazine charges Cardinal Sarto, Archbishop of Venice, with having stated those words in Venice. Cardinal Sarto was elected Pope in 1903.
But as soon as the charge was made in 1895 that Cardinal Sarto had said those words, he produced the manuscript of his discourse. What the Pope actually said is:
“The Pope REPRESENTS Jesus Christ Himself, and therefore is a loving father. The life of the Pope is a holocaust of love for the human family. His word is love; love, his weapon; love, the answer he gives to all who hate him; love, his flag, i.e., the Cross, which signed the greatest triumph on earth and in heaven.”
This is simply an affirmation of the Pope being the ‘representative’, or ‘Vicar’ of Christ and NOTHING else.
The Church has been dealing with lies and twisting if her truth for 2000 years because ignorant people like YOU simply swallow this garbage instead of doing your homework.
Your LIES are pathetic because, like EVERY other lie you utter about Christ’s Church – you must take things completely OUT of context in a vain attempt to make your impotent points . . .
In the holy roman empire the pope was emperor. No king could rule without his blessing.
The Pope does not represent Christ. He's actually an anti Christ.
