Answer me this question? Who IS the Pope, not merely in rank but in BEING?
His Holiness Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the Vatican City State, Servant of the servants of God
should not bow to anyone, even though many popes, if not all, since John XXIII have. This present pope is just continuing the dialogue with the world. He may not understand who he IS, not only what he represents.
No one else in the world has these titles. No one else in the world is the Vicar of Christ. No one else in the world can make infallible statements in the Name of Peter, from the Chair of Peter.
The Pope's position has been purposefully undermined for fifty years.
Why?
Think about it.
