STILL OTHERS HOLD THAT 666 IS THE MARK OF THE CATHOLIC PAPACY.Substituting Roman numerals for the letters in a form of the pope's official title,Vicarius Filii Dei(Vicar of the son of God) and manipulating the figures a little,they came up with 666.
Didn't C.T. Russell once publish a letter from a reader or something like that saying the above?
That's right ... and besides it is a hoax. [added: or is it called urban legend?]
HOAX? WHAT HOAX?
just do a search on "Vicarius Filii Dei" and you'll get the information
You find that in the Seventh Volume. But actually it has never been proven that the title "Vicarius Filii Dei" had ever been used by any pope.
There's a nice piece on this at the "Quotes" website http://quotes.watchtower.ca/666.htm
Thanks deleted,the link doesn't appear in the post.
