I get a lot of questions about the Pope. Catholics should not criticize any Pope in public. If God wants one removed, God will strike him down. All men’s reigns are temporary. We obey the throne, not the man currently slouched upon it, because it belongs to another whom we trust.

The Bible is the final rule for faith and practice, not big Papi. If he says something against clear Scripture you have a God-mandated right and obligation to raise your voice against his.

Is the rock Peter or Peter’s confession that Christ is Lord? Your entire RC foundation is built on ONE verse that is open to interpretation. Shaky ground, indeed.

Jesus named him Peter, which means rock/stone. When God names someone, there's a meaning behind it. The fact that in the prior verse, Jesus calls him Simon Bar-Jona implies that He made it a point of calling him Peter.

Exactly. The Peter v Peter's confession question is a false binary, besides. We have Peter answering a doctrinal question on behalf of all the Apostles & getting divine confirmation. It's a direct example of how papal infallibility works!

I also like John 21: 15-17 and Matthew 16: 19. I confess I’m not learned enough to know if they exactly impart authority, but to me they do appear to do so.

According to Isaiah 22, there existed a high office in the Davidic kingdom like a chamberlain or prime minister whose symbol of office was the key to the king's house and who is called father.pic.twitter.com/hYATvEvg45

I’d actually missed this. Thank you.

It is my duty and my pleasure! Note the foreshadowing of the power of the keys. Jesus was almost certainly alluding to this passage from Isaiah when he renamed Peter.

Brian shall be an excellent future Pope. He knows more than anyone I’ve met.
