Why did Pope Pius V say at the council of trent 1545 that God and the Pope are the same?? :(:confused:
 
It is most likely a misunderstanding or taken out of context because Catholics have never believed that the Pope is God. The Council probably just meant that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ and Christ can speak through him. Can you cite the original quote?
 
Posting an actual quote would be more helpful to those who wish to assist you than mad smilies.
 
I can’t find the actual quote, and they are suprised faces.

I had a mental flash of Jesus saying, “I really, really dislike Romans. They are always condemning us.”

Made me giggle. :o

I can certainly see how a protestant reading that article could become inflamed. But alas, I don’t know enough about any of it to make an informed assessment.
 
2-310. Pope Pius X made the blasphemous claim that he was “Jesus Christ hidden under the veil of the flesh. Does the Pope speak? It is Jesus Christ who speaks.”
REPLY: A Protestant paper, the “Church Review,” in England, October 3, 1895, charges Cardinal Sarto, Archbishop of Venice, with having uttered those words at Venice. Cardinal Sarto was elected Pope in 1903. But as soon as the charge was made in 1895 that Cardinal Sarto had said those words, inquiries were sent from England to Venice, and Cardinal Sarto produced the manuscript of his discourse. And this is what he actually did say:“The Pope REPRESENTS Jesus Christ Himself, and therefore is a loving father. The life of the Pope is a holocaust of love for the human family. His word is love; love, his weapon; love, the answer he gives to all who hate him; love, his flag, that is, the Cross, which signed the greatest triumph on Earth and in Heaven.”

this suggests that it might be a Protestant invention. (and not the first. There are other known ones).
