That isn’t what your tag line says.

May want to adjust it to “We have decided who the successor to Peter is and wherever that successor is, there is the group that claims to be the only true Church.” That would be more truthful. Because Peter is in heaven. Unless you believe a rather warped gospel.

And I have read Acts dozens of times and I find that Peter is just like the other Apostles and disciples. And if you bothered to read Galatians, you would find that Paul had seriously straighten Peter out from his tendencies to cave into those who would impose Jewish law upon Gentile believers. Peter was no spiritual giant, nor biblical scholar.

By Acts 15, (with Paul’s help) Peter finally got the picture and tried to help straighten out the rest of the crowd. But, even then they settled for a kind of watered down statement that never really went anywhere. The Catholic Church should just read the story and let it teach them...instead of them teaching the Bible what they want it to say.
