Brother, David. If it were only his Confession of Faith, why did Jesus tell Simon his name would be changed to Rock the first time He met him (John 1)

Prophetically naming him for his future confession? The weight of patristic opinion is on the Orthodox side of this one.

Let's not get into this, we both know the drill--you quote the first edition of St. Cyprian's De Unitate, I point to the revision that equates 'the Chair of Peter' with the episcopate, and on and on. All the moves are quite standard, we probably know them by hear, and in the end, we just disagree anyway.
