Hi, guys —
You quoted this on your web site from a Catholic Answer's article:
The problem is that "Vicarius Filii Dei" is
not a title of the Pope.
That's not true and I can prove it!
Quote from a Catholic source:
"The letters inscribed in the Pope's
miter are these '"Vicarius Filii Dei".
which is the Latin for "Vicar of the
Son of God". Catholics hold that the
Church, which is a visible society, must
have a visible head. Christ, before his
Ascension into Heaven, appointed St. Peter
to act as His representative. Hence to
the Bishop of Rome, as head of the Church, was given the title, "Vicar
of Christ".

They removed it from their archives because
it is die hard proof that this is a title
for the Pope!
And what about this quote from an Early Church Father:
| "Latin is the official language of
the Roman Catholic Church. Church documents
are usually published first in Latin, and
then translated from the Latin into other
languages. The association of Lateinos
with 666 was first suggested by Irenæus
(ca. 130 — 202 A.D.) who proposed
in his Against Heresies that it
might be the name of the fourth kingdom
in Daniel 7:7. It is a very probable [solution],
this being the name of the last kingdom,
(of the four seen by Daniel). For the Latins
are they who, at present, bear rule:
Against
Heresies, by Irenæus,
Book 5, chapter 30, paragraph 3. |
St. Irenaeus' on-line biography can be found
on the New
Advent Catholic Super site.
So please don't try to deceive people, the
truth is out there.
God bless,
Erol

Hi Erol,
Thanks for writing but, how do you
expect me to take you seriously when
the sources for your arguments are
from a Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA)
website that use a "cut-and-paste, out-of-context", approach
to quoting a Catholic source.
Read the following article done by a
good friend of mine, Patrick Madrid:
- More Vicarius Thrills [PDF]
The numbers of the "beast" and
the men who flub them by Patrick Madrid
September/October 1998 issue of Envoy Magazine
The SDA movement was started by
a woman, Ellen Gould White, in 1860.
- If the SDA Church is the true
Church, where was it from 33 A.D.
to 1859 A.D.?
You know the answer: the group didn't
exist!
Kudos to my colleague Richard who
sent me this article by Patrick.
Mike
