To: The Theophilus; metmom
the assertion that Peter was given a role of Pope is unsubstantiated

Given a new name, given the keys to the Kingdom of heaven, told to feed Christ's sheep and told to confirm his brethren. That points to primacy of St.Peter in the apostolic college. Whether modern papacy is an exact implementation of Petrine office, or it has developed historically as the Church reacted to heresies, is a valid question, but I'd rather discuss that with the Orthodox who understand the issue.

I haven't seen any effort to counter what I previously posted

If you think I diod not couinter something "you reviously posted", show me what is it.
