"Christ endowed the Church's shepherds with the charisma of infallibility in matters of faith and morals" (Catechism, 890).

As "shepherd of the whole flock" (Catechism, 881), the Roman Pontiff claims "infallibility in matters of faith and morals" (Catechism, 890). But, where do "faith and morals" not reach? If a Christian is one who lives "by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4), then the totality of life must be governed by "faith and morals". So the Papal See lays claim to infallibility in governing the life of the "whole flock".

This claim of infallible governing of "faith and morals" of the "whole flock" befits an antichrist, for only Jesus Christ can rightfully say, "All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth" (Matthew 28:18); thus, the LORD Jesus Christ alone is the Infallible "LORD of Heaven and Earth" (Acts 17:24)-- and, not the Pope. "Little children, it is the Last Time: and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the Last Time" (1John 2:18). The "charisma of infallibility" (Catechism, 890) of the Pope is a usurpation of the chrisma (Greek, unction or anointing) promised to every Believer. "But ye have an unction [Greek, charisma] from the Holy One, and ye know all things" (1Jn 2:20). "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ" (Colossians 2:8).

Rome Saith: Papal Infallibility Extends Over Scripture

"This infallibility extends as far as the deposit of divine Revelation itself" (Catechism, 891).

It would be sufficient to condemn the Papacy for its brazen claim of "infallibility in matters of faith and morals" (Catechism, 890) concerning the "whole flock"(Catechism, 881), but to extend that claim of infallibility "as far as the deposit of divine Revelation itself" (Catechism, 891) is certainly blasphemous, i.e., impious and evil speech against God. "And he [the Antichrist] opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name, and His Tabernacle, and them that dwell in Heaven" (Revelation 13:6).

The Word of God is no less than the LORD Jesus Christ Himself. "And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His Name is called The Word of God" (Rev 19:13). For the Pope to claim infallibility over the "divine Revelation itself" (Catechism, 891) is paramount to claiming dominion and supremacy over Jesus Christ, the Son of God-- "which in His times He shall shew, Who is the Blessed and Only Potentate, the KING of Kings, and LORD of Lords" (1Timothy 6:15).

Unlike the feeble, human tools that built the Vatican, God's Word can raise up or pull down without the slightest intervention of man. "Is not My Word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" (Jeremiah 23:29). Is it any wonder that the Reformers called the Pope Antichrist? "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (2Thessalonians 2:4).
