Thank you for this Star....clarifies some things I questioned and I will look further into the origins. So indeed it was man who claimed this title of Pope and designed it insisting that he was next “in line” to Peter.

I recall Jesus had something to say to the disciples about who would be greater...when they argued among themselves about this....He basically put things into perspective thereafter, and it had nothing to do with a Pope or one who would be in succession to any of the disciples. Had Jesus wanted lines of succession He would have given instructions on this I would imagine. Reminds me of the Jewish nation wanting a King when God himself was there King yet they were not satisfied.

so ultimately looks like they were arguing over who and also where “The” primary Church would be. Interesting!
