| − | History itself bears undeniable and irrefutable documented witness, attested even among the most hostile enemies of the Catholic Church, that the entire line of the popes, and the office of the papacy to the present day, has never refused to publicly proclaim the [[doctrine]] and [[dogma]] that [[Jesus Christ]] is the only-begotten Son of God and Lord and Savior of all mankind who has sent the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth forever, that Jesus is with us to the end of time, and that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be [[Salvation|saved]]. The pope has never proclaimed the name of any [[Other gods|other god]] as Lord, but only the name of the one [[Trinity|God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit]].
