“...ever thought that the rock referred to Peter’s faith. It’s clearly a reference to Peter.” And I said, “I’ve never heard that before!” Then I went over to R.T. France, and I read that, and I said, “is he quoting Carson?” He said virtually the same thing! And I was stunned. And I began to make some phone calls, and I found out that in New Testament scholarship, this is becoming the consensus position! Peter is the rock, not Peter’s confession. It’s straightforward.”
Is that the fulcrum that Mr. based his Catholic conversion on ?
Yes it could be Peter (also could be reference to Christ)
and if so, how does that translate into
the Catholic faith being the only faith ,
and the Vatican II church of today ??
And if the VII modern Catholic church is the one true church
then what about the previous incarnations of the Catholic church ?? (First Vatican council and the Council of Trent).
Were those Catholic churches wrong ??
Where do I write Mr. to ask him these questions ??
No it is not; see my post #20.

You can see a reference to al Kresta's call-in program in my #13, and perhaps find a contact method that suits you there.
From myself, I can say that the Vatican II did not form a new church any more that Nice, Trent, or Vatican I did.
