Jesus founded His Church with Peter as its head to be kept and transmitted through apostolic succession

psst - Peter was NOT the lead Apostle after the crucifiction =

That guy on the right was - and he didn't die until 62 AD

This iconic painting, done back when you could become a human torch for going against the church, was one of those 'coded message' paintings...

[D-fendr]

Coded messages, like art, sometimes is in the eye of the beholder.

You state your belief on the foundation of Christ’s church, the Pope states that of his church.

They differ. I see more factual reason to believe the Pope and see your views as more in line with a Dan Brown methodology.

We differ. So be it.

Explain the code to me. I’m “DaVinci Code” deficient.

The "guy" on the right is St. Peter, see the keys? The right refers to the position of the person seated at the right hand of the throne, not as viewed by an onlooker but by the one on the throne.
