Page "Vicar of Christ" Paragraph 8

The conspiracy theory of " Vicarius Filii Dei " ( Vicar of the Son of God ), supposedly considered an expansion of the historic title " Vicarius Christi ", is a term used in the spurious " Donation of Constantine " to refer to Saint Peter.

From the 19th century, because the interpretation of Uriah Smith, some groups of Seventh-day Adventists argue that the sentence is identified with the " number of the beast " ( 666 ), and would be used in the tiara, calling the Pope would be the Antichrist.

But due to lack of images or any source of Use " Vicarius Filii Dei " the tiara or mitre, and the term was never used as an official title ( as well as the fact that their founder Ellen Gould White's name also adds up to 666 by the same system ), the claim was abandoned by many Seventh-day Adventists.
