6. For the Holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles.

Where is this promise to the successors of Peter written in the Bible? I'd really like to look those verses over carefully. Thanks in advance.

Nowhere. For 300+ years the church was fine without Rome’s regulatory and financial capture of the Church. Bishoprics held each other accountable to the word of God. The Roman “Pontiff” changed that causing all to bow to his diktats

“Where is this promise to the successors of Peter written in the Bible? I’d really like to look those verses over carefully. Thanks in advance.”

Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18).

Now it would be rather silly for someone to think that God meant for his church to be founded only to die with Peter.

And it would be equally silly for someone to think that anyone other than the successors of Peter would be qualified to continue it.

You’re welcome.
