I just pointed out that it does, including where and why. Your obstinate refusal to recognize the fact doesn't change the fact of the case. But then, Protestants are great at only "seeing" the parts of the Bible that support their particular prejudices.

No you didn't. You failed to show where Jesus ever defines the seat of pope/steward for the Church. The very terminology of "seat" of authority is actually used in the bible, even by Jesus. But that was regarding "Moses seat" not Jesus' seat nor Peter's. There was ample opportunity to bring it up in the bible but it wasn't brought up, because there is no such seat.

I pointed out the very real grant of authority, which is all that is required. That authority was Peter's, and Peter's successors, and remains so today. The "seat" (as in "Moses seat") was destroyed with the Old Temple. The authority granted remains.
