I am an Orthodox Christian. Holy Tradition states that Peter was the first Bishop of Rome. That doesn’t mean that he was given infallibility.

I wonder if he’ll retract his statement saying, “only Roman Catholics believe this.

Not sure how that changes anything. Would that put you more closely correct or less then the RCC in your opinion.

>> Holy Tradition states that Peter was the first Bishop of Rome.<<

Pagans use “tradition” also. So that doesn’t impress me. We have been warned about the “traditions of men”. The problem is that there is no written record.

And that doesn't mean Peter was ever in Rome...

Peter was commissioned to preach to Jews...Paul was commissioned to preach to Gentiles...

Paul was directed by Jesus specifically to go to Rome...Peter was not...

Peter was headed East...Perhaps he got lost and woke up in Rome???

The Holy words of God speak a great deal about Paul being in Rome...And not one peep about your supposed first pope being there...
