Vice President

Hi All,

An ecumenical post.

 Christian  friend advised me that :

The Pope is the Vice-regent of Christ building His Kingdom of believers here and providing stewardship of His people until His return. And Christians don't believe in an earthly Kingdom or a "utopia on earth" - that's a Jewish believe and why He was rejected and killed.

So if the pope is Jesus's Vice-regent which I understand to be like a vice president - the Mike Pence or Dan Quayle of the ecclesiastical world- how does Justin Welby fit in? Like he's Jesus's Secretary of state or prime minister? Or is that Tony Blair's job?

And if Christianity doesn't believe their messiah  in a utopia on earth - as this is Jewish- what exactly is the point of Jesus (apparently) coming back?

Can any one help this confused Jew?
