It’s based on the Gospel of John - Jesus gave Mary to John as his mother. Mary was the mother of the Church. Jesus is the Body of the Church after all.

It’s based on the Gospel of John -

Jesus gave Mary to John as his mother. AGREE

Mary was the mother of the Church. DISAGREE...SHE is the mother of Christ.

Jesus is the Body of the Church after all.

This “logic” is a bit of a stretch.

Ok a logical argument. Then we should surmise from John being given Mary as mother of the church should logically conclude John should have been the first pontiff.
