Coded messages, like art, sometimes is in the eye of the beholder.

You state your belief on the foundation of Christ’s church, the Pope states that of his church.

They differ. I see more factual reason to believe the Pope and see your views as more in line with a Dan Brown methodology.

We differ. So be it.

re my post indicating that it was James the Just, blood brother of Jesus, who was the head apostle after the crucification, with Peter and John in a councilor like position, (as Paul sneeringly referred to the three as "the so called pillars of the church") until Jame's death in 62 AD - and then other BLOOD relatives took James' place in succession for about 200 years - so it says in the KJV of the NT - but let's not let that get in the way of the ROMAN church's claim of succession 0 that eliminates the fact that Jesus had BLOOD siblings - and there was, in the beginning, a blood line of succession - which would negate the rule of ROME - and Gasp - mean that Mary didn't forever remain a virgin, which she was never so claimed to be until about 300 years AFTER the crucification -

There was a reason that the ROMAN church forbade, under penalty of death, people owning and reading for themselves, the Bible and the ROMAN church didn't sanction Catholics to read the NT until the middle of the 20th century. Too many things in the NT are spelled out clearly, if one reads with a discerning mind, that clearly is a disconnect with the ROMAN church =

"There is One God and One Mediator between God and Men, the Man Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself a Ransom for All, to be testified in due Time." —1 Tim. 2: 5, 6;
