I know I'm probably going to get the thread locked, but isn't this kind of the definition of pre-reformation Church? The Pope isn't G-d, but seems to act like it (along with Bishops, Cardinals, etc.), that seem to act and speak on behalf of G-d.
I don't understand your statement "isn't this kind of the definition of pre-reformation Church"
The Pope has a mission. To you he seems to act like God? All spiritual leaders are expected to express opinions in the public arena. They would not be spiritual leaders if they didn't.
As for the Bishops and Priests that "seem to act and speak on behalf of God", they are also spiritual leaders with opinions.
Catholics believe that Christ left us with what we call the Sacraments. Christ administered these Sacraments when He was here and before He ascended to Heaven. Christ appointed His Church's heirarchy and commissioned THEM to administer the Sacraments, spread the Gospel by preaching and practicing and grow His Church. They are not acting like God or replacing Christ. They are just continuing Christ's mission and following the orders that He gave to the Apostles.

You don't have to explain it, anytime a pastor has tried to explain it to me, I've just sat there looking like an idiot. You can tell me what you think until you're blue in the face.
I've heard probably 20 versions of the holy trinity in the last five years (the last one was that they were like virtual active directories of each other, no kidding, that was last week.) I kinda thought the Bible was the Old Testament, but that's just old school people. I won't go any further.
