Subject: Early church support for Peter as Pope? |
Bible Note: All I asked was a simple question. You asserted that there was early church support for a papacy starting with Peter. Since you made that assertion, I asked you to provide evidence of that from the early church fathers or other historical sources of the time period. How is that insulting? Ad hominem attacks have very little effect on me, so I politely ask you again to provide concrete evidence that would point to a papacy beginning with Peter. That will be a more than adequate answer for me. Furthermore, if I were Roman Catholic and wanted to defend such a notion, I would try my hardest to prove all those "hateful" Protestants wrong. If the evidence is there, surely someone has made it more than public to refute what you consider to be mockery. And if the evidenc edoesn't exist, you need to be intellectually honest enough to wonder whether we are right... --Joe! |
