No.
Next question.
I believe she’s obsessed.
...”Was The Papacy Established By Christ?”....
Not at all....the Roman Clergy simply wanted the same royal honor and “dress” they saw in local administrations throughout Rome at that time, thus showing the people the unity of Rome and the Church on equal footing in appearances, power and authority in the eyes of the uninformed public....... It’s been “add on’s” ever since.
Answer: No.
“it is clear that in Cyprian’s mind,...” I stopped right there.
I love it when protestants quote Catholics who are READING THE MIND of the ancient dead Cyprian.
This must be more of the protestant divinely inspired personal interpretation.

Just proves Romanism is not infallible huh ?
You dont even get the logical fallacy of your quoting prominent Catholic authors who disagree with the magisterium.
The best part is they (cyprian,et al) are DEAD and their opinions didnt prevail because they were just their opinions not like their protestant brethern, all of who’s opinions are divinely inspired just because their protestant.

Catholics will be along any minute now to show scriptural proof of the position of pope......any minute now.......maybe a few minutes................um..........maybe not.
Article posted by a lapsed Catholic and now seconded by a lapsed Catholic. So it must be true!
“All the evil in the world is due to lukewarm Catholics”.
Pope Pius V
You mean there's MORE of this stuff???
What about "neither will I ever take and interpret [the scriptures] otherwise than according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers"?
Cyprian is supposed to endorse the primacy of Peter in the text of "The Unity of the Catholic Church", but I can't find the support.
Cyprian - Surely the rest of the Apostles also were that which Peter was, endowed with an equal partnership of office and of power.
I guess I should read more of Cyprian's text... But it seems like another case of Catholic quotes and assertions saying the exact opposite of what they say.
The more RCCs I meet, whom I had no idea of their faith, the more convinced I have become that they really have no basic faith in Christ, but they very much hate those who simply believe in Him.
your laughable
again your a protestant quoting a Catholic and taking ONE QUOTE from him as definitive rejection of the primacy of Peter.

Just what part of “Cyprian does not have any more sway as to the Primacy of Peter than you do” do you not understand?
Neither Cyprian’s nor your private personal interpretation on the primacy of Peter is significant as it is MERELY YOUR OPINION.
You’re just another protestant who thinks his opinion is better than the Majesterium of the Catholic Church.
Only in your dreams.

What you think about Catholics means nothing to Catholics.
BTW are you one of the protestants who is going to stay home tomorrow and ‘Church himself’?
the more protestants who I’ve heard give their interpretation of a single Scripture reading - the more DIFFERENT “inspired” meanings I hear.
you can’t even agree amongst yourselves on one verse - why again should a Catholic care what you think?
AMDG
Good. It's not what I think that matters. It is what God Provides us by His Word that matters, which is why I witness the passages in Matthew and Mark.
My apologies.

How true. And how sad.

You should consider having that printed on a cereal box. It seems to be a daily staple of your posting diet.
