“And that is why Catholicism has had it so wrong for so long.”
Which is why Simon Peter’s affirmation of Christ’s divinity elevates him over the other disciples. Sooo close. But so far away.
“The person of Peter is the foundation of the Church on earth.”
You are kidding, right? To say that Peter - a man as sinful as any of us - is the foundation of the church is absolutely and totally blasphemous, my friend. Blasphemous against Jesus Christ, the Preeminent, Sinless One who is above all and laid his life down for the church.
Your adoration and veneration of Peter is an affront to God, Scripture, and the Christian faith. How can I say this? Here’s why: “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” I will leave it to you to find that verse in Scripture.
I stand dumbfounded that Catholicism teaches that Peter - not Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God - is the foundation of the church.
You cannot have two foundations. So who will it be? Jesus Christ? Or Peter?
