[Mr. Keating]...may well have assumed that the "seat of Peter" was understood by everyone back then to refer to the bishop of Rome. However, all students of church history know differently. Cyprian (and the North African church as a whole for the span of centuries) believed the "chair of Peter" referred to all bishops in all churches across the world. Cyprian, for example, claimed to sit upon the "cathedra Petri" as did all bishops... By that logic, Mr. White should be Orthodox, not Baptist. Interesting.

By that logic, Mr. White should be Orthodox, not Baptist. Interesting. White makes arguments like this from the Fathers all the time, wihtout bothering to reflect that they're at least as inimical to his Baptist creed as he claims they are to Catholicism. He's not consistent, except that he's consistently anti-Catholic.

By that logic, Mr. White should be Orthodox, not Baptist. Interesting. Yeah, but he's Reformed Baptist. That's a distinction with a difference.
