My circular posts? Okay, do what you wish "when you return", but I will not let your response, or non-response stand unanswered. I reread the letter from Ignatius to Rome, and the "primacy of Rome" you suggest is in there must be hiding behind some words that you may interpret a certain way because I do not see them. It would help if you were to actually say what the words are that Ignatius says rather than to point me to the section where they supposedly are. Ignatius was brought up in the first place, not as inspired scripture, but as the first instance a first-century Christian used the word "catholic" and what was his meaning behind the word.

I was referring to the entire Preamble and also this (Ch. 3):

You have never envied any one; you have taught others

The Epistle of Ignatius to the Romans

What we see here is that the Roman Church is in the position to teach other churches.
