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

So this would mean Christ may have been appointing a chancellor, not a regent but one who looks after the King’s people and affairs, and would be called father? That seems to blend well with John 21: 15-17.

Yeah. Each of the 12 tribes had a royal officer whose job was to ensure the people were fed. The chancellor oversaw all of them. So when Jesus tells Peter to feed His sheep, it's an explicit confirmation of that office.

That would be twelve bishops with a chancellor (or pope, meaning papa) overseeing them.
