| | PANTOKRATOR |
 | | The right hand, folded in the gesture of benediction, inclines toward the Gospel, which Christ offers to the faithful. | | | "The iconographic type of Christ Pantocrator (Ruler of All) presents the Divine Majesty of the Creator and the Redeemer, Who presides over the destinies of the world, under human features of the Incarnate Son,. | | | It is a dramatic departure from icons such as Christ of the Fiery Eye, where the Savior was depicted as severe and unforgiving. |

| | Since the late 1980s, however, Church of Christ leaders have repudiated the Boston Movement as an apostatized, schismatic cult; the Boston Movement in turn has declared itself to be a faithful remnant being called out of a dead or dying church, namely the mainline churches of Christ. | | | Churches of Christ mostly agree with the theology of other Fundamentalist Christian groups, believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God, the death of Jesus by crucifixion as atonement for sin, and most other basic Christian teachings. | | | The Church of Christ believes that the organization and structure of the church was laid down by Jesus Christ himself through his apostles in the form of the Bible. |

| | Vicar of Christ |
| | It emphasizes the duties of the Pope, his Petrine ministry, carried out for the good of the Church and the faithful." Instead of rejecting the term, John Paul challenges every Christian, every priest, every bishop to realize fully Christ's presence in their every act. | | | In preparing this issue, we were again reminded what a profound teacher this Pope is. The thrust of his pontificate has been clear from the beginning - to restate the deposit of the faith, to bring into homes, the market place, and lives everywhere the teachings of Christ, handed down to us by the Apostles. | | | But Pottmeyer is here misrepresenting John Paul's teaching on "Vicar of Christ." In Crossing the Threshold of Hope (October 1994), the Pope pointed out that, for the Fathers, every Christian is another Christ (Christianus alter Christus), and that every priest administers the sacraments in persona Christi. |

Peter answers: "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Thereat Jesus rewards him with: "Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jona, for flesh and blood have not revealed it to thee but My Father Who is in Heaven. | | | No person living in that age stands on so high a plane as this fearless Vicar of Christ; no fact in the history of those early days is more sublime than the unfaltering constancy of the Bishop of Rome. |

| | In short, their problem is with the Legions use of orthodoxy to manipulate faithful Catholics in order to build an empire, a parallel church (as one bishop expressed it). | | | After reading Christ Is My Life filled mainly with pious platitudes with little spiritual or theological depth I discovered that former Legion seminarians and priests were denouncing the book, which was ostensibly autobiographical, as a string of fabrications a concocted self-hagiography. | | | The Legions tentacles are far-reaching, as many staunchly conservative Catholics who have been burned by the Legion or Regnum Christi are afraid to speak out, for fear of retribution. |
