The Pope a Subject

Last week we noted the fact that a member of the pope's household had been sued at law. The following from the Osservatore Romano, the official organ of the Vatican, will show how the matter is viewed in Rome.
"Thus it has been declared, in the most definite manner, that the pope in Rome is a subject; that his legal position is exactly on a par with that of any private person; and that the sovereignty and rights of the Supreme Pontiff, as regards the extra-territoriality of the Vatican, expressed in the famous Law of Guarantees, are nothing more than an artifice, a mockery."
If the pope understands the Scriptures, he must know that such things presage his speedy destruction. See Dan. 7:11, 26; 8:25.
