There is no “pope.” The notion emerged when Constantine judaized Christianity.

If Peter were the first “pope,” then Paul would have been wrong to rebuke him for denying fellowship to the uncircumcised (Galatians 2). Because, as the dogmatic Roman Catholic asserts, what he (Peter/pope) binds on earth, God binds in Heaven.

This is a philosophical question: with everything being fake nowadays, we need to ask ourselves, what do we mean by Pope?

We live in a world of symbolism and imagination. if we simply decide something is what is claimed, then we have no absolutes for anything. Everything is subject to imagination and that can change simply by suggestion.
