The biblical topic of "Popery" refers to the criticisms and warnings against the excesses and false teachings of the papacy, as seen in the writings of the Protestant Reformers. According to the Bible, Jesus Christ is the head of the church, not any human leader (Colossians 1:18), and the scriptures alone are the ultimate authority for Christian faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

In essence, the biblical critique of Popery is a call to return to the simplicity and purity of the gospel, as proclaimed in Scripture, and to reject any human authority that seeks to supplant the authority of Christ.
