Thanks for posting that rebuttal, Mike. I get so sick of hearing the twisted logic and mental gymnastics of those who deny the clear, plain sense of scripture regarding Peter being the Rock, or even John 6:53 for that matter, that I hardly even bother rebutting it any more. Scripture is clear. Peter is the Rock. Christ built a Church, gave it the keys, gave it authority to lose and bind and forgive men's sins in His name. Early Christians understood this, even if the reformers and their heirs reject it.

Rebut it all you want, or not at all. The Rock is Christ. If you don't accept it, that's not the last word on it.....

Thanks for posting that rebuttal, Mike.

Kind of providential that today's first reading is Acts 8:26-40, where

'Philip ran up and heard him [the Ethiopian] reading Isaiah the prophet and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?" He replied, "How can I, unless someone instructs me?"'

Whereupon Philip began to instruct him.

And the second reading is St John 6:44-51, where Our Lord says

'I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.'
