“The call is then made to submit to that system and avoid the sedition.”

A “system” yes; the Fathers are surprisingly uniform about that; but the Pope? No mention anywhere, my brother.

Not literally — the word Papa was not in anyone’s vocabulary at that time. But what is a bishop of Rome doing telling the Church in Corinth (that would be in Greece, you know, far far away) to reinstate some priests, and bringing up the rod of Aaron to justify his authority?
