Jesus does indeed predict a “vicar” in the sense of a “replacement” for His physical presence here on earth. However, this “vicar of Christ” is not a priest, high priest, bishop, or pope.
Tunay na ipinangako ni Hesus ang kanyang kinatawan o kahalili sa Kanyang pisikal na presensya sa mundo. Gayunman, ang kahaliling ito ay hindi isang pari o dakilang saserdote, obispo, o papa.
