What some call "legend" others call "passed down tradition." You got to have faith somewhere Reggie. Mine is that the folks from Peter to the third or forth Bishop didn't forget who the first Bishop of Rome was. There is a small area of confusion about the line of succession. That is all. That there was such a succession is not in doubt.

What some call legend, others call myth. What some call passed down tradition, others call manufactured evidence and heresay. You aren't going to tell us that word of mouth things have been passed on accurately since the 1st century, are you? And you aren't going to offer proof for the source of what you call tradition or for when it was offered either.. Your tradition is whatever your church decides to say - without authority, without proof, without proof of origin. And it comes with the sucker phrase of history "TRUST US". As I quoted before "..a legend and an outta work bum look a lot alike, Daddy!"
