Who is "Head" of the Church?"

Whenever Catholics are told their church elevates the pope of Rome to the level of God, they get angry and deny it. However, sooner or later Catholics let down their guard and show that they really DO elevate the pope to the place of God. Such an example was found in the Oct 24 issue of the 'Pittsburgh Catholic,' in an article by Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania bishop Donald Wuerl titled, "The Pope and Bishops: One Voice."

Bishop Wuerl wrote:

"Conscious of his role as head of the church, the pope announces...that he will carry out his responsibility as shepherd of the flock."

Forgetting that there are those who dare check what he says versus the bible, Bishop Wuerl unthinkingly showed who his real god is - the head of his church is the pope of Rome.

The bible says that CHRIST is HEAD of the church.

Eph 5:23: "EVEN AS CHRIST IS HEAD OF THE CHURCH..."

Col 1:18: "AND HE (Christ) IS HEAD OF THE BODY, THE CHURCH."

For bible believing Christians, the head of the church is Jesus Christ. May the Spirit of our Lord show many Catholics that they need to flee the Roman Church and its false pope-god, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.
