The Pope Is Not the Successor of Christ
Talking to Gloria.tv, the Roman historian Roberto de Mattei criticised papolatry which considers the Supreme Pontiff to be almost god-like. De Mattei defines papolatry as the belief that the Pope is almost a successor of Christ, instead of being his vicar. He points out that the Tradition of the Church comes before the Pope, not the pope before the Tradition.

De Mattei points out that only two popes of the Middle Ages, the Church’s most splendid time, were canonised. On the contrary, since Second Vatican Council all the popes are about to or have been canonised. De Mattei points out that the canonisation of a pope signifies that he has shown heroic virtue in governing the Church.
