So a while ago I began to research my Catholic beliefs in regards to everything that has to do with the Papacy. As I researched more and more, and began to fortify my beliefs in this, Within time I noticed I had a good amount of patristic quotes at hand and would like to share them with whoever needs to read concerning papacy. So I gave myself the time to organize them by fathers, and numbered them from 1 to 200.
A friend of my uploaded these quotes which are found in the following link:
Here
There you will find quotes that have to do either with:
1- Peter’s primacy. (Him being the prince of the apostles, him being the Rock in Matt 16:18, him being the head of the Church). Example quotes 166, 170 and 178
2- The Supremacy and Jurisdiction he has over all the churches in the whole world. Take quotes 39, 41, 44, 65, 85, 121, 123, 166 and 167 as an example.
3- Infallibility in my opinion can be found in some quotes. Take quotes 46, 124, 125 and 132.
4- The Pope’s role in the early church. Quotes 47 and 167
5- The Importance of the see of Rome in early history. Example quotes 8, 30, 34 and 128
6- The Power of Peter’s successors (in Rome) have. Examples 65, 67, 137 and 138
7- The Importance of being in unity with Peter’s successors. Examples are quotes: 33, 58, 110, 111
8- The obedience one must have to the Bishop of Rome. Examples: 45, 79, 186
All quotes are really interesting and when you look at them as a whole you get a clear picture of what Papacy really is.
Things I must clear up:
1- If you find any repeated quotes, my bad. I actually made updates because Many quotes were repeated. I have noticed quotes 15 and 128 being the same one.
2- Cyprian’s quote number 110 on “The Unity of The Catholic Church” has an “A” and a “B” version. Why? go here:

Note: I didn’t start this thread to debate anything really (I don’t want an endless discussion here). Just to share patristic quotes which I have found in numerous sites, books, etc. I have my opinion about them, you may have yours.
Also if the link doesn’t work, please make me knows. Thanks.
