Acts 15:7: And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brothers [...]." And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul
Do Catholics not have reading comprehension?
The crowd fell silent when Paul and Barnabas spoke, but NOWHERE does it say that they did this at Peter’s command and there’s nothing in that passage that indicates that Peter called the meeting together or to order. That is pure speculation and assumption.
Another observation on that passage is that Peter spoke then the crowd fell silent when Paul and Barnabas spoke. That implies that the crowd was not silent previously.
And who was speaking previously?
Peter.
