Another thought I had while reading the Bible is the Papacy behaves almost exactly like the Pharisees, Sadducee's and the scribes that Jesus said were the children of Satan bu they thought they were the decedents of Abraham.
John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
