Catholics have to retrofit the supremacy of the Popes of Rome back to Peter in order to assert their authority. But what we do know about apostolic succession is that it was NOT a handing down of a position of Apostle - automatically conferring all the power and authority of the Apostle Peter to whomever got elected - but a handing down of the message of the Gospel. Merely an expression of opinion with no basis in either fact or reality.

You’re wrong. Plenty of facts AND reality to prove it.
