Vicar of Christ or the anti-Christ? Sola Scirptura vs the Supreme Pontiff

Last week Representative Susan DeLemus, a supporter of Presidential candidate Donald Trump, referred to the supreme pontiff as the anti-Christ. This was in response to Pope Francis' remarks that Christians should be building bridges instead of walls and that those who wish to build walls are not Christian. Almost certainly an indirect response to rhetoric coming from Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.

DeLemus' exact words were, "The Pope is the anti-Christ. Do your research." I think I speak for everyone when I say that if someone tells you to "do your research" and they aren't your professor assigning you a research paper, then they really aren't making any credible claim and you shouldn't listen to them. 

Representative DeLemus later clarified that she was referring to the institution of the Papacy as the anti-Christ and not Pope Francis himself. She follows a theological tradition of sola scriptura which rejects papal supremacy and elevates the Holy Bible to that spot. It is worth noting that this tradition posits divine inspiration as the reason for why certain things were canonized into the Holy Bible during the time of the Early Church. This is an answer to the criticism that the Holy Bible was the subject of much debate between scholars and theologians in the Early Church and was canonized in the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. and then those decisions were largely reaffirmed in the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D.

So, is the Pope the anti-Christ? Probably not.Still, how do you explain the invisible horns?
