Hey, take up the claim that Paul wasn’t an apostle with the poster of post 357. He defined the Apostles as the orignal Twelve, and I was expounding on that.
IF you accept that statement, then the easiest way to show it is false is the example of Paul. Ergo, an Apostle is not just one that was directly commissioned and converted by Jesus when he walked the earth. Thus the concept that the pope must be an Apostle as commissioned by Jesus before he was crucified is broken, since Apostles are not relegated to that group alone.
Sorry if I was moving a bit too fast...
Ah yes, the "gotcha" moment.
You who bragged about who much you know about what Catholicism teaches, now defining terms by what Freeper posted (while obviously not anticipating the game).
