The role of imperial Pontifex Maximus is not in any sense nominal,
on
the contrary the Vatican takes it very seriously, as the Gregorian
calendar changes
demonstrate.
Another instance of the heart of the Roman problem - the Lord's Table turned into hideous idolatry of the bread. The 39 articles of the Church of England properly call this out: Article XXXI: Of the one Oblation of Christ finished upon the Cross The Offering of Christ once made is that perfect redemption, propitiation, and satisfaction, for all the sins of the whole world, both original and actual; and there is none other satisfaction for sin, but that alone. Wherefore the sacrifices of Masses, in the which it was commonly said, that the Priest did offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to have remission of pain or guilt, were blasphemous fables, and dangerous deceits. The sad thing is the CoE have largely renounced their Bible rooted foundations and embraced futility and disobedience.
Often extreme moral corruption, with enforced clerical celibacy, hatred, and colossal financial fraud are the evil fruits of these twin primary fountains of filth.
Vatican wolves act globally in packs - The appalling scale of abuse uncovered by thorough legal probing in Pennsylvania, where the Attorney General said, 'Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing. They hid it all,' Vengeance is Mine - I will repay, says the LORD.

An extraordinary sight as a Catholic priest quotes scriptures to an

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and
talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee
the
judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and
the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her
fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness:
and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names
of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was
arrayed
in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious
stones
and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations
and
filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name
written, 'Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and
abominations of the earth.' And I saw the woman drunken with the
blood
of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and
when I
saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto
me,
Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the
woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and
ten
horns.'
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are
seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
