This in found in the Papal Bull, Unam Sanctum, which was written in 1302.  It is attributed to Boniface VIII

[Philip Walker]

A Pope.

Wait a minute, that could be ambiguous. I don't mean Alexander Pope, the famous Roman Catholic poet, I mean one of the inhabitants of the (so-called) chair of St Peter. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

[Stan McCullars]

A false prophet.

[Charles S]

It was a statement made in a papal bull against a King who challenged Rome over tax money, Benedict, Innocent, Boniface ?

I'm guessing that's a collegial "we" and not a plural of majesty "we". Vatican 1.

[J.Moore]

Mel Gibson... ;-) lol

[Gene Schlesinger]

It's the Papal Encyclical Unam Sanctum.

[Ron Suarez]

Pope Benedict IV. AKA Cardinal Ratzinger.

[Ron Suarez]

Opps, wrong #. I ment Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Ratzinger

[Michael]

An antichrist, no doubt.

I think it was Boniface VIII.

Council of Trent

[Adam]

Council of Trent

[Tapsearch Editor]

Cardinal Newman, a convert, said, We must follow our consience even if it is ill informed. This suggests that you do not need to be a Catholic to be saved. See http://www.therationale.com/ philosophy and religion site

[Lloyd Cadle]

The current Pope.

[Coyle]

Definitely the spirit of "Unum Sanctum", but I'm not sure if it's from that or not. Maybe the current Pope's new "Love in Truth" statement?

[Jim Bryan]

I'm going to guess John Paul II.

[John Yeazel]

I do not think it was from the Council of Trent. It came out a later Vatican Council but I am not sure which one.
