No longer Catholic, but Matthew 23 has to be interpreted in context since Christ also says to call no one a teacher but we don't freak about that at all. Also, St. Paul says you don't have many Fathers in the faith but he is one. So in combination it means that no one on Earth replaces God as Father and Lord of all. Pope, Patriarch, Bishop, Priest whoever, insofar as they submit to God, submit to them. Otherwise resist and refute them.
