“...but the office of “Pope” while perhaps called by a different name was given personally by Christ Himself to Peter.”
ROTFL!! That does not exist anywhere in Scripture.
I don’t know what you are thinking, Peter was the “Chief” Apostle and all the other Apostles deferred to him. That is all I meant.
there was no such thing as Pope and I thought I made that clear but there was a leader, that is all the Pope is, the chief apostle. Unfortunately there are no longer 12 apostles, while we have Cardinals we have many more than 12. If the Catholic Church were to reorganize and someone could with authority call and ordain 12 men to be apostles and call one of them to be the leader it would make a lot more sense when we read The Bible.
I do hope you are able to get off the floor after you stop rolling and laughing.
