Well, it's all interpretation in the end. Depending on the monastic order or Christian movement, some assume literal divine properties, others define a more mundane approach.
Catholics in particular are between a "representative of god" and "just a normal person that has lots of wisdom and can guide you". Depending on which part of the bible you put your attention to.
Thats why you have a lots of views, and there's no such thing as a unified Christianity.

@Amorpheus @Susibryant @codebyjeff But if you are strictly limited to the four evangelic texts. Jesus does not describe what a prophet is (you could interpret that, for Jesus, the definition is irrelevan. But I digress). He does point between a "true prophet" and a "false prophet". And the only true difference he makes is about their results and actions (e.g. the fruit they bear). Other descriptions (like the mark of the beast) goes beyond anything Jesus said and goes in other texts.
