Sooo, you are anti-Protestant!

NONE OF THE FOLLOWING SOURCES ON MATTHEW 16:18 ARE CATHOLIC: Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. New Bible Dictionary “. . . That the rock is Peter himself . . . is found...

None of your sources say Peter was not leader of the Church. Joel B. Green is a Calvinist, and Joseph A. Fitzmyer is a Jesuit priest, and Stanley E. Porter is a NT scholar, a prof in my city, who would never support you claims. I checked your sources. For example: (brows the pages of the book...

Yes, it's Bible time. Jesus established his Church on St. Peter as the foundation. That’s why he renamed him — and only him — “Rock” (the meaning of Peter). Moreover, he gave only to him the “keys of the kingdom of heaven,” which harks back to Isaiah 22, as many Protestant commentators fully...

Catholics don't claim Peter and his successors replace Jesus, your presupposition is false and very annoying. By leaving out "therefore go and teach all nations" you butcher the Scriptures. Jesus clearly gave HIS AUTHORITY to teach and baptize to weak human beings. This is what you deny so you...

I think it's time to join the hundreds of members that probably have you on ignore. Good bye.

Yes, the King of Kings chose a man to help Him rule over the kingdom on earth while Jesus rules heaven and earth. Your false dichotomy is man made and contradicts scripture and all of Christian history.

Positively. The contents of Ark of the Covenant foreshadows Jesus, that BofL explained in detail, that you failed to address. That's your opinion. Another baseless fabrication. Plus, your definition of "tradition" is patently false. So you are saying the Ark of the Covenant is a mere sign or...

Are you saying the Church has not been attacked??? From within and from without??? Would you like me to post a list? "...gates of Hades shall not prevail..." does not mean "gates of Hades will one day be mounted. " The CC is the most hated, the more maligned and misrepresented than any other...

It's more complicated than that. Take away the politics and 'reformist' propaganda, the so called 'reformation' would have been a mere footnote in the putrid backwaters of history. https://www.tentmaker.org/books/MartinLuther-HitlersSpiritualAncestor.html

Because only the bishop of Rome succeeds Peter, who, with Paul, founded the church in Rome. You can find out by reading his 7 letters, accepted as authentic by several Protestant scholars, but rejected by Calvin as forgeries. That's where the opposing bias comes from.

Clement I was the 4rth pope when the Apostle John was still alive. Why wasn't John the pope? Because John wasn't the bishop of Rome. Only the bishop of Rome can qualify to be pope. St Evodius was the second bishop of Antioch after St Peter. In the Acts of the Apostles, Saint Luke mentions the...

I know of no such precedence. Where is the legitimacy in drawing straws? Unless all the candidates to replace Judas were qualified. There is no "subset of church leaders" in Acts 1. Peter was martyred around 64 A.D. in Rome. I don't think the original 11 Apostles travelled the world without...

Historically, leaders who taught rubbish were heretics. They caused much confusion. That's why councils were held. Your sect rejects all councils, leaving you open to fall for the rubbish refuted by the same councils. Let's see where Luke 10:16 has you confused: Luke 10:16 Whoever (common...

Dead popes don't appoint their successors, they are elected or unanimously acclaimed after the pope's death. Pope St. Linus (Reigned about A.D. 64 or 67 to 76 or 79). All the ancient records of the Roman bishops which have been handed down to us by St. Irenaeus, Julius Africanus, St...

Your presupposition of "ecclesiastical authority" is false, it violates religious freedom. ecclesiastical authority cannot impose truths. Truths can only be proposed to those who are disposed to receive it. There is no forced submission. Despite the actions of a few power hungry kings, forced...

Peter's primacy and apostolic succession are different topics, but related. It makes no sense to establish a church only to have the office of the appointed leader disappear with his death.

Scripture is logically compelling that Peter is leader of the Apostles on earth in many instances. That's easy to establish. Jesus is head of the Church in heaven and earth. It's both. It's not a dichotomy. Jesus gives HIS AUTHORITY to His Church on earth. Matthew 28:18-20, 18 And Jesus came...
