It still boggles my mind that folks think the following nonsense has a shred of truth to it:

#########

Christ did not ask the other Eleven to feed and tend His sheep. If you read The Acts Of The Apostles, it is clear that St. Peter leads the Apostles. Therefore, since the Apostles are to be replaced as they die (Acts 1:20-26), then it follows that whoever succeed(s) St. Peter is leader of the Church.

#########

But then bureaucratic self-righteous power mongering tyrannical RELIGIOUS control was alive and well when Jesus walked dusty paths as well.

If you read The Acts Of The Apostles, it is clear that St. Peter leads the Apostles.

That is true .. but it is the result of the original commissioning to St. Peter by Jesus Christ, Himself.
