It is not merely a "claim of antiquity." It is a claim of tradition built from the time that Christ named Peter as the first head of His Church: St. Peter, the first Pope.

All I saw was somebody saying, hey, buddy, your church is only 40 years old, whereas mine is 2000.

You didn't say anything about tradition, but I admit to wandering into the middle of the discussion, so I guess I missed it.

Traditions, by the way, have been known to become incorrect and altered over time, for what it's worth.

Tradition was what the entire discussion was about, but it is difficult to follow the thread of a conversation that is taking place between two or three individuals unless one follows it from the beginning, and that is sometimes too tedious to do because other comments are interspersed between them.

Yes, traditions have been known to be changed, but in this instance there are no errors attendant to the traditions of the Catholic Church to which I referred.
