What is the biblical evidence for the Catholic understanding of the Papacy? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, I show how Jesus expressly created a new office for Peter and his successors.
Questions Covered:
- 20:59 – My brother claims that both Peter and Paul were given authority by God. Therefore, God allowed for multiple Churches. How do I disprove this?
- 31:40 – Why do other denominations use bible verses to disprove the papacy? How do you know which is correct?
- 44:15 – You have to speak about this in term of the Orthodox. Because none of them believe this. They feel that the keys were given to the church, and all are successors to Peter. They feel that while the Pope had a primacy of honor, that’s about it. No authority. Please help clarify on this matter.
- 48:00 – Are both references to rock in “Peter you are Rock and Upon this rock…” the same word in the Greek?
