No. They're desperate to make you think they're only recently corrupted.
The popes are the false apostles of Revelation, falsely claiming apostolic succession. They are those that come in His name claiming to be the Christ. Vicar = Substitute. Jesus told you, the GENTILES lord their authority over others. Not so with us.
The True church is all of us who believe, not those that worship themselves as Gods mother or trick others into it.
"Among those born to women there is none greater than John".
So is Jesus greater than John or born to a woman?
“While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.”’ David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
Does Mary call Him Lord?
"When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.” Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.”"
She's not the mother of God. She's mother of the Temple.
