Christ or the Pope: Who is the High Priest of the Catholic Church?


With the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United States, many Protestants are again wondering about the place and role of the papacy in Catholicism. Is the pope the High Priest of the Catholic Church, or is Jesus Christ. What is meant by “Vicar of Christ.”

For anyone asking these questions, I recommend this mp3 podcast that I put together over at the Catholic Information Center: Jewish Levites and Catholic Clergy.
