I want to meet the prophet of lds church and tell him he has less priesthood than the pope. The LDS used to tell 12 year old boys they have more priesthood than the pope. That statement admits that the pope has priesthood.

No it doesn't. It could imply the Pope has no priesthood.

Right. I'm not sure if the OP meant less priesthood divine POWER or less priesthood members or less influence over laws and culture.

How do you have less than zero priesthood power?
They both have zero. One just has fancier costumes.

Catholic priesthood has more influence.
Mormons get to count every male preteen member, so way to pad those numbers!

The pope, a 12 year old LDS boy, and a stick of margarine each have exactly the same amount of power given to them by a divine being.

Oh I disagree, the margarine has health impacts the other two can't even dream of.

The bartender said to the 12-year-old “beat it, kid. We don’t serve minors here.”

The pope replied “it’s OK, he’s with me. Besides, didn’t Jesus say ‘suffer the children to come unto me’? Give him a glass of wine, and it will be basically the same thing as drinking Jesus’ blood.”

The stick of margarine just pretended that he didn’t know the other two.

They used to rub it in that women had no priesthood either; which is the justification as to why women aren't allowed to conduct a meeting without priesthood oversight.

They should pick the next prophet using Priesthood Playoffs. Kind of like March Madness.

Mormons do believe that the pope has priesthood. According to the temple endowment, popes and priests are in the service of Lucifer who has multiple priesthoods.

LOL... the only priest hood the lds inc. have are the ones given by the tiny little voices that are rattling around in that big vacuous space inside their heads... the more people that leave the less power these turds have!

The original statement was power not priesthood.

Priesthood is the authority to molest in God's name.

It surely works out that way. In both the Mormon and the Catholic contexts.

What is the proper unit of measure for priesthood, or priesthood power?

Balls. As in......

Rebuking the evil spirit required a combined 27 Gigaballs of priesthood power, which left the Elders feeling quite flaccid.

and asked him: "Is that what the magnification of one's priesthood looks like, or are you just really happy to see me?"

Brigham Young used to be obsessed with the size of his priesthood and believed that the size of a priesthood holder's harem was an indication of the size of his priesthood.

Based on that criterion, Russell Nelson may have a bigger priesthood than the Pope. But do we really know for sure what goes on in the Vatican?

As a disinterested and objectively minded person, I believe this issue will only be determined and put to rest once and for all with a tape measure and public transparency. But as long as the Mormon Prophet and the Pope refuse to cooperate with such necessary objective testing procedure, the whole issue will never amount to anything more than a he-said/he-said situation.
