Would Christ found a Roman church? Rome is Esau, isn't it?

Christ founded a worldwide church which happened to locate its earthly headquarters in Rome. I have no idea what you think is compelling about this. Jerusalem wasn't an option, for some rather obvious reasons. (Read Acts ...)

Then what about the two popes who claimed each was the true one?

At one point, there were three. But only one was right.

Don't think so. The church that Christ founded has no earthly headquarters. It has only tabernacles.

To clarify, I'm saying that while I disagree with his conclusion, it is at least arguable that papal succession was not implied.

On the other hand, to try to deny that Peter is Cephas is absurd.

Here's a good article about where a lot of the anti-Catholic stuff we see over and over and over and over and over here comes from: The Anti-Catholic Bible
