You are selectively quoting (and thereby not proving your point).

It is revealing how willing you are to ignore Scripture and base your facts on the Catechism.

However, please read your Catechism citations one more time and explain to me the difference between the use of the words "on" and "of". Please note especially the careful wording of #552. A cursory reading might lead you to believe the Church was built on Peter. Such is not the case.

Reg, Reg, Reg,
You crack me up. LOL. You are the one who initially and selectively quoted from the CCC trying to disprove my argument. I point that out and give a broader quote from the CCC, and then you attack me for ignoring Scripture even though (A) the CCC references I gave contained direct citations to sacred Scripture and (B) my prior posts on this topic are based on sacred Scripture. And now you want to go back and argue from the CCC again. This is like playing that old arcade game, "Whack the Weasel" (or was it "Gong the Gopher"? ... um, nevermind.).

Please note especially the careful wording of #552. A cursory reading might lead you to believe the Church was built on Peter. Such is not the case.

From CCC 552: "Our Lord then declared to him: 'You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.' Christ, the 'living Stone', (1 Pet 2:4) thus assures his Church, built on Peter, of victory over the powers of death."

What is "not the case"?

Reg, ol' boy, you can't disprove the Petrine nature of the papacy using the CCC. And if you can't disprove it from sacred Scripture, then I must ask, when will you accept this divinely-revealed truth?
